Abstract

Global warming is a global issue. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate change and the International Energy Agency have suggested that, in order to achieve the international goal of limiting global warming to 2\rC. Sustainable use of the resources is the best way to reduce the global environmental issues. Use of agro waste for the power generation is the new eco friendly resource for the sustainability. Power generation from the agro waste is less polluting resource in comparison to conventional energy resources (coal). It helps to fulfill the world energy demand and natural resource conservation in a sustainable way. The world will need to live within a set carbon budget that can be achieved by the sustainable agro-waste management The highlight of the study is comparative analysis of lignite based coal fired power plant and agro waste (mustard crop residue) fired power plant, which is being used at “Kalptaru Power Plant, Uniyara” (Tonk District, Rajasthan).
