A project for compilation of a Biomass Resource Atlas for India has been sponsored by the Ministry, jointly to the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore and Regional Remote Sensing Service Centre, Bangalore. The Atlas aims at utilization of data on generation of different types of biomass materials in various parts of the country for integration with data on their use pattern so that estimates of surplus biomass materials could be derived. Collection of required data and development of computer applications for verifying and deploying the same are in progress. The project is expected to be completed by March, 2007.
This was stated by Shri Vilas Muttemwar, Minister of State for Non-Conventional Energy Sources (Independent Charge) in a written reply in the Lok Sabha today.
