MNRE Revised Subsidy Scheme for Biomass Pellet Plants β 2024 Update
π Detailed Summary
The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) has revised the Central Financial Assistance (CFA) rates under the Biomass Programme, part of the National Bioenergy Programme (NBP), effective 16 July 2024. These changes aim to boost the production of biomass briquettes and pellets, especially torrefied pellets, by providing higher financial incentives.
The original CFA, notified in 2022, offered the same rate for both briquettes and pellets. However, the revised scheme now differentiates between torrefied and non-torrefied pellets, with significantly enhanced subsidies to promote cleaner energy alternatives.

Can rice straw alone be used for pellet making or should it be mixed?
β
Can We Make Pellets from Only Rice Straw?
Yes, itβs technically possible, but not advisable for the following reasons:
π΄ Challenges with Using Only Rice Straw:
Low Bulk Density:Raw rice straw is fluffy with a bulk density of ~70β120 kg/mΒ³.
Difficult to feed uniformly into pellet mills.
High Silica and Ash Content:Rice straw has 15β20% silica, contributing to:Higher ash content (12β16%) in pellets.Slagging and corrosion in boilers and furnaces.
Causes abrasion of pellet mill die and rollers.
Low Binding Properties:Poor natural lignin content in straw makes pellet formation weak.
Leads to low durability and crumb [...]
