Abstract

This review article provides the state of art for Indian energy scenario in areas of climate change in respect of various types of biomass available (forest, agricultural and aquatic). Present biomass conversion technologies for commercial and research and development sector with accurate methodologies are also studied. Based on the findings of the available literature, development policies for bioenergy sector incorporation with climate change mitigation and sustainable agriculture provide an induced impact on the environmental sector. The need for proper management among end users of government policies in India through a sustainable framework is highlighted by the authors of this review article.
