Miles. He describes biomass fuels and discusses technologies that are suitable for biomass conversion. T. R. Miles draws from more than 35 years experience in the design and development of biomass systems, from improved cooking stoves in developing countries, to industrial boilers, independent power plants, utility cofiring and the development of biofuel processes. Oil shortages in the 1970s stimulated the development of new technologies to convert biomass to heat, electricity, and liquid fuels.
In 1992, the power sector was opened up allowing private capital participation in its development along and in parallel with continued development under public sector. India now possesses the needed financial resources and professional capabilities to utilize the in-house and global capacities for implementation of hydropower projects. The 50,000 MW initiatives leading to identification of 162 projects in a span of 2 years (2004 to 2006) has been recognized as a laudable initiative. The achievement of commissioning of about 8000 MW in the 10th plan period (2002 to 2007), the target of over 15,000 MW in the running 11th plan period (2007 to 2012) and 20,000 MW proposed during the 12th plan period (2012 to 2017) speaks of the ambitious plan of hydropower development.
S. and overseas. The author covers the potential of bio energy’s future usage and developments, especially co-firing with coal. Waste Energy has been addressed by a practicing professional with knowledge of municipal and industrial waste in both developed as well as underdeveloped or developing economies. Urbanization and concomitant suburban sprawl with demands for alternative sources of energy generation can release gasoline for automobiles. With the help of several schematics, the benefits and challenges of utilizing waste are covered including waste cycle, the regulatory perspective, business risks, and economic rationale.
