## ANSWER

## THE MINISTER OF STATE FOR NEW & RENEWABLE ENERGY AND POWER (I/C) (SHRI R.K. SINGH)

- (a) & (b) The National Biogas and Manure Management Programme (NBMMP) aims at setting up of family type biogas plants for providing biogas as clean cooking fuel and a source of lighting.  The slurry produced from biogas plants as a by-product is an organic bio-manure for enhancing crop yield and maintaining soil health.  The biogas technology dissemination helps in reducing the environment degradation and prevents the emissions of Green House Gases (GHGs) such as Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and Methane into the atmosphere. The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) has fixed an annual physical target of setting up 65180 biogas plants for the current year 2017-18 under the NBMMP.
- (c) Under the NBMMP, about 49.6 lakh household size biogas plants have been installed since the inception of the National Biogas Programme in the country.  The state-wise details of the biogas plants installed and the estimated generation of biogas in cubic meters per annum, taking average plant life as 20 years is given in Annexure - I
- (d)  The  State-wise  details  of  the  non-functional/  closed  biogas  plants  in  10  States  as  brought  out  by  an independent evaluation study for the family type biogas plants installed during the 12th Five Year Plan Period under  the  NBMMP  are  given  as  Annexure  -  II.    In  addition,  as  per  the  monitoring  and  evaluation  work carried out by Biogas Development and Training Centers (BDTCs) under the NBMMP, the details of the nonfunctional plants in 13 States including the State of Tamil Nadu are given in Annexure-III.
- (e) The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE), through the State Nodal Agencies/ Departments, spreads awareness about the programme (NBMMP) through advertisements in local Newspapers,  display of posters  in  Panchayats  Offices,  Schools,  Kisan  Seva  Kendras,  distribution  of  booklets  on  biogas  during gatherings at exhibitions, Kisan Melas/Fairs etc.
- (f) The MNRE has taken various steps to increase the production of biogas in the country including Tamil Nadu which include introduction  of  new biogas  plant  designs  under  the  NBMMP  such  as  floating  design Shakti Surabhi Model, Solid-State Deenbandhu design model of biogas plants.
