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

- (a)  The  Ministry  of  New  and  Renewable  Energy  (MNRE)  has  formulated  the  following schemes for harnessing the potential of Bio-Energy in the country:
- (i) New National Biogas and Organic Manure Programme (NNBOMP)
- (ii) Biomass Power and Bagasse Cogeneration Programme
- (iii) Biomass Gasification Programme
- (iv) Biomass Cogeneration (Non-bagasse) in Industry
- (v) Energy recovery from Urban and Industrial Wastes including Agriculture Waste/residue and cattle dung
- (vi) Biogas based Power Generation (Off-grid) and Thermal energy application Programme (BPGTP) in the capacity range of 3 kw to 250 kw.

Under  the  above  schemes,  the  Ministry  of  New  and  Renewable  Energy  provides  Central Financial Assistance for setting up plants/projects besides providing support for programme implementation, information dissemination, trainings, R&D etc. The State/UT-wise details of Bio-Energy projects for power generation installed under the above schemes/programmes are given in Annexure-I.

- (b)  As  per  an  independent  third  party  evaluation  study  conducted  for  the  New  National Biogas  and  Organic  Manure  Programme  (NNBOMP),  which  was  operational  during  the period from 2012-13 to 2016-17 (12th Five Year Plan Period), an overall functionality rate of 96.5  %  has  been  observed  in  10  States.  The  State-wise  details  of  operational  and  nonoperational plants have been given in Annexure-II.
- (c) & (d) Yes, Sir. The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy is implementing a Central Sector Scheme, the New National Biogas and Organic Manure Programme (NNBOMP) for setting up small biogas plants, based on cattle dung and other mixed wastes in remote, rural and semi-urban areas of the country.
