Pathways for Clean Bio Energy in Rural India:Present Challenges and Future Scenarios
Subscribe/Renew Journal
The mission of achieving universal access to clean energy is still a crucial distant ambition particularly amongst the developing nations. However, progressive countries like India has a substantial concern in tumbling its reliance on fossil fuels and encouraging the use of renewable energy options to provide access to clean energy. India presents a favourable setting for accelerating the use and internalisation of bioenergy sources towards the path of clean energy for all. Almost 25 % of India’s energy arrives from bio resources, predominantly nearly 70 % of rural inhabitants relied on biomass resources to congregate their everyday energy requirements. In particularly, biogas is one of the emerging bioenergy resources in rural India. This study analyses present challenges and future scenarios in the context of biogas by using futures methods. The policy findings of this study not only demonstrate crucial drivers but will also help the government to achieve its ambitious mission clean energy for all.
