There are plenty of opportunities to set up various capacity power plants based on variety of techniques (gasification, co-generation and combustion) by using biomass other than bagasse. According to a TERI report, the state has an assessed potential of 3757 megawatt power generation through biomass. To set up such kind of projects, region wise specific surveys are needed to be carried out to assess the actual potential of the projects. Updated status of other biomass based projects in the state besides bagasse is as follows:-

COMBUSTION BASED BIOMASS POWER PROJECT (GRID-POWER) Efforts were also made in the past to set up large capacity (mega watt capacity) power projects based on combustion technique using other biomass (agro-residues) than bagasse, the power produced from them is mainly to be sold to the power corporations.Efforts were also made in the past to set up large capacity (mega watt capacity) power projects based on combustion technique using other biomass (agro-residues) than bagasse, the power produced from them is mainly to be sold to the power corporations.
