FACTS FOR URGENT CONSIDERATION......
In 2007-08 India imported 121.67 million tons crude oil. In order to produce this much of fuel 365.01 million tons biomass required annually. As per our biomass production achievement the land area required 2 million hectors. India has 60 million ha of degraded land (Min. of Agriculture).
For developing 2m ha for algae energy production Rs. 1200000,0000000
India's crude import bill for the year 2007-08 Rs. 272699,0000000
The nation has the potential to meet the complete requirement of fuels by its own production
In addition to the many environmental benefits, biomass offers many economic and energy security benefits. By growing our fuels at home, we reduce the need to import oil, reduce our exposure to disruptions in that supply and generate employment.
