Overview
Dnyaneshwar Mill is a 12.96 MW biomass power plant in India, operated by Shri Ssk Ltd. It contributes to renewable energy generation using agricultural residues.
Dnyaneshwar Mill is a biomass power plant located in India, with coordinates 19.4496° N, 75.0382° E. The facility has a capacity of 12.96 MW and is classified as a small-scale biomass power plant. It is owned and operated by Shri Ssk Ltd and is currently operational. Biomass power plants in India typically use agricultural residues such as sugarcane bagasse, rice husk, or wood chips as fuel. The plant operates under India's national renewable energy policies and is subject to emission standards set by the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB). The technology often involves direct combustion or gasification to produce steam for electricity generation. The plant supports local grid stability and provides a market for agricultural waste, reducing open burning and associated air pollution. Its capacity is modest, serving nearby communities and contributing to India's renewable energy targets.
Environmental context
Biomass power generation offers a renewable alternative to fossil fuels, but its environmental impact depends on fuel sourcing and combustion technology. The plant's proximity to agricultural areas suggests a steady fuel supply, but emissions of particulate matter and NOx must be managed. India's biomass sector is regulated under the Environment Protection Act and CPCB guidelines for air quality.
