One of 3,528 projects Taiyo tracks in Punjab.
Source: Times of India
The project involves the mandatory use of biomass pellets along with coal for co-firing in thermal power plants in Punjab to reduce emissions. The target consumption of biomass pellets has been set at a minimum of 7% for non-torrefied pellets and 5% for torrefied pellets for the year 2025-26. Four thermal power plants are involved: Guru Gobind Singh Thermal Plant Ropar, Guru Hargobind Thermal Plan

Description
Description | The project involves the mandatory use of biomass pellets along with coal for co-firing in thermal power plants in Punjab to reduce emissions. The target consumption of biomass pellets has been set at a minimum of 7% for non-torrefied pellets and 5% for torrefied pellets for the year 2025-26. Four thermal power plants are involved: Guru Gobind Singh Thermal Plant Ropar, Guru Hargobind Thermal Plant Lehra, Nabha Power Limited, and Talwandi Sabo Power Limited. However, the plants are currently consuming only about half of the targeted biomass pellets due to supply issues. |
