With the establishment of new sugar mills and the modernisation of existing ones, the technically feasible potential for bagasse cogeneration is estimated to be around 5 GW (DOE, 2009). Another 39 GW (30% efficiency, 60% load factor) can be obtained from other agricultural and plantation residues, based on a potential for agricultural residues of 145 Mt (Table 1.6). The principal total biomass potential in India is, therefore, estimated to be around 65 GW to 70 GW.
