Dear all
our project is located in a rural area. then agriculture waste (Biomass) is available in anywhere near our site. We can get these biomass easily and free of cost.
so we plan to install a Biomass boiler for steam requirement. The fuel for biomass boiler is free(No cost).and now we have some doubts ,the same is listed below
1.Is this qualify for Innovation credit & Renewable energy
2. What is the cost we consider towards Renewable energy cost (Electricity is used for Lights and machines, Diesel fired boiler is act as a backup when biomass boiler is in maintenance /failure)
A. Can I take the Energy cost of Diesel fired boiler to produce the same Quality and Quantity steam produced by Biomass boiler towards renewable energy cost
B. Can I take the Energy cost of Electrical fired boiler to produce the same Quality and Quantity steam produced by Biomass boiler towards renewable energy cost
Awaiting for your reply

1. It depends on the source of the biomass, some qualifies, some does not. It is not eligible for an innovation credit in and of itself.
2. You say the cost is free
2A/B. The baseline fuel source is the back up. In your case diesel fuel.
