In view of the major opportunities and risks associated with it, and the complexity of the subject, bioenergy policy has in a short time become a challenging political task for regulators and planners
Studies were conducted with eight tree species in natural grassland for 15 years (July 1988 to June 2003) under semi arid condition to select suitable tree species for introduction in natural grassland/sown pasture for higher production.
In the present study, red lateritic soil and farmyard manure were used in seven compositions for raising seedlings of Albizia amara. The emergence of seedlings increased with increasing the ratio of farmyard manure (67.7 to 89.3%) while pure farmyard manure lodged 71.4%.
During the present study, the effect of inoculation of biofertilizers and chemical fertilizer on growth and nutrient acquisition of Tectona grandis was observed under nursery conditions. Factorial combination of biofertilizer and chemical fertilizer alone and in combination was applied to see the effect on growth, biomass and nutrient uptake in …
Biomass smoke is an important source of particulate matter (PM) , and much remains to be discovered with respect to the human health effects associated with this specific PM source. Exposure to biomass smoke can occur in one of two main categories: short-term exposures consist of periodic, seasonal exposures typified …
Ministry of New and Renewable Energy had taken the initiatives to develop grid connected power plants from renewable sources. Power from renewables is infirm depending on the vagaries of seasonal changes. Major thrust areas of grid connected power were biomass, bagasse based cogeneration, small hydro and wind.
This study uses a national agro-environmental production model to evaluate the environmental and economic impacts of introducing a market for corn stover to support a stoverbased ethanol industry. It explore the relationship between stover supply, aggregate environmental impacts, and different production practices or policies that can influence supply or mitigate …
MADURAI: The T. Kallupatti biomass power unit project is just one of the measures taken by the Commissionerate of Town Panchayats to promote green energy. Besides the four local bodies covered under the pilot project, two more biomass gasifier units are coming up in the Oddanchathram town panchayat in Dindigul …
MADURAI: T. Kallupatti, 50 km from here, may appear yet another sleepy small town in the State. But what is less known is that it is one of the four town panchayats identified for a pilot project for biomass power. At T. Kallupatti, 35 street lights, seven sodium vapour lamps …
