Haryana government has announced a new Haryana Bio-energy Policy 2018 to promote generation of energy from the surplus biomass in the state and a target has been set to achieve minimum 150 mw biomass based power generation by 2022. Currently, the state has surplus biomass availability of 8416 thousand tonnes which has tremendous potential for utilization of the crops residues to generate electricity, biogas, bio-CNG, bio-manure and bio-fuels. The move will also reduce crop burning which raises environmental concerns for all ready polluted cities of Delhi/Faridabad etc.,
