Bagasse based cogeneration plants earn carbon credits in India
Bagasse-based cogeneration plants also earn carbon credits as the carbon dioxide absorbed by sugarcane plants while growing up is more than the carbon dioxide produced in burning bagasse. The cogeneration plant of Triveni earned about 186,000 certified emission reductions worth over Rs.30 million between March 2004 and December 2007. - Read More

Sugar companies make more money from cogeneration than from sugar
Out of 650-odd sugar mills in India, 107 have CHP plants. This revenue has managed to bail sugar mills reeling from falling sugar prices. The Dhampur Sugar Mills in UP, which has largest cogeneration capacity in India, made Rs.420 million from its cogeneration in 07-08, compared to Rs.110 million from sugar! It sold about 177 million units of power to state. The 3rd largest sugar co, Triveni is selling 16-17 MW of power to the grid - Read More

Bagasse, CHP and India energy deficit
The International Energy Agency says that the sugar sector has a potential to produce 5,100 MW of power through cogeneration, which is 69 percent of total cogeneration capacity. If the resources and technology are improved, cogeneration can produce almost 10,000 MW or 40 percent of the country's 2008 power deficit. - Read More

CHP - Combined Heat & Power - Cogeneration
CHP (also cogeneration), is concurrent production of electricity/mechanical power and useful thermal energy from a single source of energy. A type of distributed generation that is located at or near the point of consumption. Instead of purchasing electricity from a local utility to produce thermal energy, consumers use CHP to provide these energy services in one energy-efficient step. CHP is not a single technology but a suite of technologies that can use a variety of fuels... - Read More
