India is a land of village where the energy required for domestic purpose such as cooking is met from dried woods, twigs and leaves of plants and other dried organic matter such as cow dung. This organic matter called as biomass is available freely as waste. It contains stored energy from the sun. It is a renewable energy source because we can always grow more trees and crops, and waste will always exist. The biomass is fast renewable forms of energy and available freely as waste and discarded matters. India has 288 biomass power and cogeneration projects aggregating to 2665 MW. It consists of 130 biomass power projects aggregating to 999 MW and 158 bagasse cogeneration projects with surplus capacity aggregating to 1666 MW. 30 biomass power projects with 350 MW and 70 Cogeneration projects with surplus capacity aggregating to 800 MW are in various stages of development. In line with the sugar plants, the bagasse cogeneration projects are predominantly in the states of Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh. The leading States for biomass power projects are Andhra Pradesh, Chattisgarh, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat and Tamil Nadu. A number of fiscal incentives are available such as central financial assistance, preferential tariffs, capital subsidy, accelerated depreciation and income tax holiday.

Resource mapping is a necessary step to provide certainty about the resources and policies that public and private enterprises need to expand investments in renewable energy resources. Many developing countries, including my country, lack that.
