Overview
SAHAKAR SHIROMANI is an 18 MW biomass power plant in India, operational under Sahakar Shiromani vasantrao. It contributes to renewable energy generation using biomass fuel.
SAHAKAR SHIROMANI is a biomass power plant located in India, with coordinates 17.708000 N, 75.136100 E. It has a capacity of 18 MW and is currently operational. The plant is owned by Sahakar Shiromani vasantrao and plays a role in India's renewable energy sector. As a biomass power plant, it utilizes organic materials as fuel, which aligns with India's focus on diversifying energy sources and reducing carbon emissions. The plant operates under India's national environmental regulations, including the Environment Protection Act and standards for air emissions from biomass combustion. Typical technology for such plants involves direct combustion or gasification to generate electricity. The 18 MW capacity places it in the small-to-medium scale range for biomass power plants in India. Its operation supports local grid stability and provides a market for agricultural residues, contributing to rural economic activity. The plant's location in a region with agricultural activity ensures a steady fuel supply.
Environmental context
The plant uses biomass, a renewable fuel, which generally has lower net CO2 emissions compared to fossil fuels. However, combustion can release particulate matter and other pollutants. Proximity to populated areas may require adherence to local air quality standards. The plant's capacity of 18 MW is modest, limiting its overall environmental footprint.
