1.  Scheme to support promotion of biomass based cogeneration in sugar mills and other industries .  Under  the  scheme,  Central  Financial  Assistance  @  Rs  25  Lakhs  /  MW  of  surplus exportable  capacity  for  bagasse  cogeneration  projects  and  Rs  50  Lakhs  /  MW  of  installed capacity  for  non-bagasse  cogeneration  projects  is  provided  to  cogeneration  projects  utilizing biomass  like  bagasse,  agro-based  industrial  residue,  crop  residues,  wood  produced  through energy plantations, weeds, wood waste produced in industrial operations, etc.
2. Programme  on  Energy  from  Urban,  Industrial,  Agricultural  Wastes/  Residues  and Municipal Solid Waste for recovery of energy in the form of Biogas or BioCNG or Power from Urban, Industrial and Agricultural Waste / Residues such as MSW, vegetable and fruit market wastes,  slaughterhouse  waste,  agricultural  residues  and  industrial  wastes  &  effluents.  The financial assistance available under this Programme is as follows:
- a. Biogas generation:  Rs 1.0 crore per 12000cum/day (Maximum Rs 10Cr/project);
- b.  BioCNG  generation  (including  setting  of  Biogas  plant):  Rs  4.0  Crore  per  4800Kg/day (Maximum Rs 10Cr/project);
- c.  Power  generation  based  on  Biogas  (including  setting  of  Biogas  plant):  Rs  1.5  Cr  to  Rs  3.0 Crore per MW(Maximum Rs 10Cr/project);

d. Power generation from MSW: Rs 5.0 Crore per MW (Maximum Rs 50Cr/project);

- e. Power generation from solid waste other than MSW: Rs 0.50 Crore per MW (Maximum Rs 10Cr/project);

f. Biomass Gasifier:

-         Rs. 2,500 per kWe with duel fuel engines  for electrical application
-         Rs. 15,000 per kWe with 100% gas engines for electrical application
-         Rs. 2 lakh per 300 kWth for thermal applications.

3.  New  National  Biogas  and  Organic  Manure  Programme  (NNBOMP) aims  at  setting  up small biogas plants (1-25 m3) for meeting cooking energy and lighting needs of mainly rural and semi-urban  households  of  the  country.    Under  the  NNBOMP  Scheme,  CFA  is  provided  for setting up biogas plants of size from 1 m 3 to 25 m 3 . The subsidy in the range of Rs. 7,500/- per plant  of  1  m 3 to  Rs.  35,000/-  per  plant  of  20  to  25  m 3 .  Besides  this,  financial  support  is  also provided  for  construction,  supervision  etc.  There  is  also  provision  for  support  for  skill development. 4. Biogas based Power Generation (Off-Grid) & Thermal energy application Programme (BPGTP) provides clean energy solutions through biogas production to reduce consumption of diesel,  kerosene  and  electricity    by  installation  of  medium  size  biogas  plants  of  size  30  m 3 to 2500 m 3 per day with power generation installed capacity of 3 KW to 250 KW . (c)  Financial  assistance  provided  during  the  last  three  years  and  current  year  State-wise including Bihar is placed at Annexure .
