Rural electrification through biomass gasifier

10 Jun 2004 31 Aug 2007
TERI, in association with the NTPC Limited, has set up a 10-kWe biomass gasifier system for electrification of village Bhaogarh in Rajasthan to provide electricity to 118 households. The project, the first of its kind in the state, will also supply power for street lighting, schooling, panchayat ghar, and shops.

The management and operation of the biomass gasifier has been placed under a village-level cooperative society for which two youths were trained as operators by TERI. They were provided with onsite and class room training on different aspects of the technology.
