Study of Biomass Briquettes, Factors Affecting Its Performance and Technologies Based On Briquettes

Today, renewable energy source of power generation has become very promising. As we know that conventional or non-renewable source of energies are very limited and are depleting very rapidly. Increasing energy needs of the world and continually growing population there is a power demand gap and it needs alternate sources of energy. So, there is a view to generate more and more power from renewable sources of energy. There are various forms of renewable energy sources. Biomass is one of the important sources of renewable energy. India has huge volume of potential for renewable energy sources. In India about 500 million metric tons of biomass energy is produced every year. According to International Energy Agency (IEA), Renewable energy could meet almost half of the global energy demand by 2050. Main aim of this paper is to show the potential of renewable energy in world, in India and in the state of Madhya Pradesh, it’s percentage growth in present as compare to previous years as well as its future aspect. The work focuses on the methods of finding the value of different parameters in proximate analysis and its significance. Technologies of power generation through biomass are also discussed.
