Jun 21, 2006 :: Waste power in Bihar

Dr Hari Sharan, an internationally renowned energy expert is seeking to convert agricultural waste in Bihar, into electricity, says an article in Deccan Chronicle. Rice husk, ipomea and dincha stalks are dried and used to generate a gas that can run gensets. Almost any bio-waste can be used as feedstock.

Desi Power a company he runs has nine similar plants running around the country. The plant in Orchha, MP has since 1996, logged 18,000 hours on ipomea, a ground cover that grows wild and free. In Bihar, Dr Sharan is planning power generation in ten clusters of ten villages each, producing between 20 and 100kw at each location.
