NTPC Ltd plans to procure 2.5 million tonne of biomass pellets as a fuel to generate electricity at its projects

NEW DELHI: As part of the Centre’ plan to contain pollution by crop stubble burning, state-run NTPC Ltd plans to procure 2.5 million tonne (mt) of biomass pellets as a fuel to generate electricity at its projects. These pellets will be mixed with coal as fuel to generate electricity.

With the onset of winters, Haryana, Punjab and Uttar Pradesh are also procuring around 1.3 mt of these pellets, with the orders to be finalized next month. India’s largest power generation firm NTPC Ltd has already placed orders for 0.865 mt of pellets which is being supplied and another 65,000 tonnes order in October.

This comes in the backdrop of Delhi pollution, caused due to crop stubble burning in Punjab and Haryana, becoming an annual political flashpoint between the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Congress. The idea is to incentivize farmers to convert crop stubble into pellets rather than burn it. According to the government, an acre of land produces around two tonnes of stubble.
