1. Integrated Food Security, Power Generation and Environmental Conservation Initiative BY AMALI ABRAHAM AMALI for the 2015 National Engineering Innovation Prize (NEIP)

2.  Bio-resources (bio-gas, biofuels, biomass, bioenergy) stems among the world’s new line of research.  Makes use of materials regarded as waste  Reduces the menace of waste disposal  Utilizes the principle of energy conservation  Optimal production is achieved with priority to environmental conservation. INTRODUCTION

3. Environmental conservation as well as sustainable energy production are the main features of Bio-resources utilization for energy generation.

4. BIOMASS Biomass is the solar energy stored in chemical form in plant and animal materials and is among the most precious and versatile resources on earth.

5.  Pyrolysis  Fermentation  Gasification  Combustion PRODUCTION

6. PRODUCTION PROCESS

7. APPLICATIONS

8. BIOFUEL ELECTRICITY

9.  Provides Sustainable & Affordable alternative to fossil fuel based power plants at low power levels. This technology can assure 'Continuous power supply' even at 'Peak load conditions'.  Efficiency of the system is very high when compared to other Renewable energy systems such as Wind and Solar.  Entire project is Eco-Friendly as it is "CO2 Neutral", generates very little SO2 & Nitrogen Oxides compared to conventional fossil fuel based power plants. We can have benefit of 'Green Power'.  Improves Country's energy self reliance and reduces crippling oil import bill. and it is a cost effective solution as it combines 'Low Unit Capital Cost' with 'Low Unit Cost of Production'. Cost of installation per kWe is about the same as for large power levels. WHY BIOMASS ??

10.  The process is very energy efficient as the waste heat in the flue gases can be utilized effectively.  This process produces 'Very Low Emissions' of un burnt primary fuel and no Fly Ash, because, Solid fuel is subjected to 'Pyrolysis' and the gas is passed through cleaning and cooling process to remove particulates.  Biomass production & conversion activities stimulate local economics by providing employment opportunities to local people and also product & market opportunities for agribusiness. WHY BIOMASS ??

11. ECONOMICS  Food security  Urbanization  Employment creation  Foreign exchange  Food production  Industrialization  Stable Power generation  Raw materials for industries.  Increase in agricultural production for sustainability

12. An Integrated Food Security, Power Generation and Environmental Conservation Initiative (IFSPGECI) is developed to efficiently and effectively utilize materials regarded as waste. Harnessing theses processes brings about energy (biogas, biomass, biofuel) that provide a very safe form of energy for use. These processes tends to discourage other harmful forms of energy generation. Adoption primarily involves providing a sustainable supply of the raw materials, which implies market opportunities for agribusiness. CONCLUSION
