POTENTIAL ANALYSIS OF POWER GENERATION BY NON WOODY BIOMASS AND COAL BIOMASS MIXED BRIQUETTES

Biomass is a biological carbonaceous organic material and provides both the thermal energy and reduction for oxides; where as other non conventional sources of energy can meet our thermal need only. Biomass is the purest fuel consisting of very smaller quantity of ash materials. Hence, Biomass is an important source of energy and the most important fuel worldwide after coal, oil and natural gas. Bio-energy, in the form of biogas, which is derived from biomass, is expected to become one of the key energy resources for global sustainable development. The present work is an optimistic step towards energy and ecological problems facing the world. At present, the technique for power generation is co-firing (coal & biomass) has more attractive and cost-effective.
