The policy aims at supporting and promoting production of compressed bio-gas, bio-coal, ethanol and bio-diesel in the state.The Cabinet also gave the go-ahead to the MSME (small and medium enterprises) policy that seeks to open and promote such units in all districts.
“The bio-energy policy will help increase farm income by making better use of stubble and agricultural and sugar mill waste and promote rural employment by using organic waste for energy generation. Besides, it will also help make better use of urban waste,” the government said in a statement.
