ELIGIBILITY OF PROJECTS FOR CENTRAL FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
Criteria based on type of wastes
3.1 The eligibility criteria on type of wastes will be :
- Projects based on any bio-waste from industrial / agro-industrial sector (excluding rice husk and bagasse) that requires pre-processing before utilisation for energy recovery).
- Projects for co-generation / power generation from available biogas.
- Mixing of other wastes of renewable nature, including rice husk, bagasse, sewage, cow-dung, other biomass and industrial effluents, including distillery effluents, upto a maximum of 25% will be permissible.
- Projects based on distillery effluents for generation of biogas, wastes from fossil fuels and waste heat (fuel gases) shall not be supported.
Criteria based on technologies:
3.2 The eligibility criteria for technologies will be:
- Projects based on waste-to energy conversion technologies, namely, biomethanation, combustion, or a combination thereof.
- Projects for generation of power from biogas through 100% biogas engines or steam turbines with a minimum steam pressure of 42 bar.
Criteria based on capacity
3.3 There will be minimum / maximum limit of project capacity
