Shalivahana 6MW Biomass

Description: The purpose of the project essentially is to utilize the available biomass fuels in the region effectively for generation of clean and green power. The generated power is sold to the state grid to displace some of fossil fuel generated power with green power and Green House Gas (GHG) emission reduction. The primary fuel used in the power plant is rice husk in addition to other available biomass fuels like saw dust, Cotton stalks, paddy straw, julieflora etc. In addition to mentioned biomass fuels, plant also uses coal as secondary fuel when the requirement arises as per the guidelines from NEDCAP (maximum allowed 20% on yearly basis). Plant consumes around 60000 – 65000 tons of biomass fuel to generate the power. A survey carried out before commencement of plant construction indicates that the fuels to be used are available in abundance within radii of 50 km from the plant site. Plant procures the raw material from nearby rice mills, saw mills and farmers. No other biomass power project exists in the region apart from the project activity. Considering the adequate availability of bio-mass in the area, Shalivahana Projects Ltd (SPL) has set up the power plant in Mancherial Village & Mandal, Adilabad district, Andhra Pradesh.
