The development and implementation of biomass gasification pilot activities

TERI is required to act as consultant, first, for successful introduction of a new gasification technology for thermal and electrical purposes and second, activities that put in place the conditions for replication of the first activity. Gasification component focuses on the design and implementation of three demonstration projects as well as identifying and designing activities required for replication of the demonstration projects. The objectives of this project are preparation of detailed project report for Kalangala Islands for biomass-based electricity generation; biomass gasifier for power generation at Nyabeya Forestry College; estimation of preliminary market potential; identification of barriers (technical, financial, sustainable biomass supply, policy, and regulatory, etc.); assist the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Development, Uganda, in developing a programme for promotion of biomass gasifiers in Uganda; and identification of 3-5 next generation pipeline projects.
