Biomass Pellets in Power Generation: Sourcing Paddy Straw and Agricultural Residues for Co-Firing

Mitigating Straw Burning through Bioenergy

Every winter, open field burning of crop residues (like paddy straw) in northern India leads to severe seasonal air pollution. To address this, the government has mandated that coal-fired power plants co-fire a percentage of agricultural biomass pellets.

# Pellet Sourcing and Production

Converting raw paddy straw into high-density biomass pellets requires specialized pressing equipment and structured aggregation networks. Maintaining consistent pellet quality and calorific value is essential for efficient power generation.
