📘 Detailed Summary The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) has revised the Central Financial Assistance (CFA) rates under the Biomass Programme, part of the National Bioenergy Programme (NBP), effective 16 July 2024. These changes aim to boost the production of biomass briquettes and pellets, especially torrefied pellets, by providing higher financial incentives. The original CFA, notified in 2022, offered the same rate for both briquettes and pellets.

✅ Can We Make Pellets from Only Rice Straw? Yes, it’s technically possible, but not advisable for the following reasons: 🔴 Challenges with Using Only Rice Straw: Low Bulk Density:Raw rice straw is fluffy with a bulk density of ~70–120 kg/m³. Difficult to feed uniformly into pellet mills. High Silica and Ash Content:Rice straw has 15–20% silica, contributing to:Higher ash content (12–16%) in pellets.Slagging and corrosion in boilers and furnaces. Causes abrasion of pellet mill die and rollers. Low Binding Properties:Poor natural lignin content in straw makes pellet formation weak. Leads to low durability and crumb [...]
