## The details of steps taken by the Government to promote utilisation of agricultural and organic waste for bioenergy generation are given as under:

- I. MNRE supports installation of bioenergy plants under different components of National Bioenergy Programme (NBP) by providing Central Financial Assistance (CFA). This includes biomass-based (non-bagasse based) plants for power generation, briquettes/ pellets manufacturing plants and compressed biogas (CBG/BioCNG) Plants.
2. II . Ministry  of  Agriculture  and  Farmers'  Welfare  (MoAF&W)  under  the  Crop  Residue Management  (CRM)  Scheme  provide  incentives  for  management  of  crop  residue.
