■ BIO – ENERGY
Energy sources
◇ Bio energy is a clean source of energy which improves sanitation, hygiene and the living style of the rural population.
◇ This technique is based on the decomposition of organic matter in absence of air to produce gas.
◇ India has a capacity to produce bio-gas to the extent of 25,000 million cubic m. the left over digested slurry serves as manure. This can meet 50% of rural domestic fuel instruments.
◇ UP has the highest potential in bio-gas, followed by MP, AN P, and bihar.
◇ MH – highest production followed by Gujarat and UP.
◇ The development of bio-gas is adversely affected because of the non-availability of cattle dung, water, labour, space and low temperatures in certain parts of the country, especially during winter season.
