The estimated potential amount of non-woody and non-fodder
biomass, which is prospective for energy in India was estimated
to be 325 Mt (472 PJ) in 1996–97, and the anticipated value for
2010 is 450 M (656 PJ) as shown in the Table 2 (Ravindranath
et al., 2005). The estimated power generation potentials of renewable
energy sources in India have been outlined in Table 3
(Renewable energy statistics, 2005). The power generation potential
of biomass is considerably high in the world including greater
in the India.
