- EAI provides turnkey consulting and implementation guidance to manufacturing companies to shift to biomass based power and heating, from fossil fuels such as LPG, natural gas, LDO, and furnace oil. We are one of the few Indian companies who have the capability to do this.
- EAI’s bio-research division also does exclusive research in unique oleochemicals that provide sustainable value-added products, with its report on castor oil and its derivatives being the only one of its kind in the world. Please visit www.castoroil.in for more details
Biomass as a source of energy is unique. It has the potential to provide both heat/cooling and electricity. Besides that, emerging technologies also enable biomass to produce liquid and solid fuels as well. Add to these the fact that biomass power can be 24×7 – perhaps the only renewable energy source that can claim this. All these imply that bio-energy has an important role to play within the renewable energy sector. EAI is uniquely placed to assist companies in this exciting biomass sector, having worked on every aspect of the bio-power, bio-to-heat and biofuels value chain.
EAI has published the world’s only professional, comprehensive report on the use of biomass gasification for power production.
Our assistance to a Kolkata based building materials manufacturer helped them in their investment in a 2 MW biomass gasification power plant.
EAI team also has published the world’s only comprehensive industry report on algae fuels and the use of algae for waste water treatment.
Assisting Factories Shift to Biomass from LPG/Furnace Oil/LDO/Natural Gas – Biomass-based heating for industrial processes has a powerful economic business case today. When biomass is used as the fuel in place of furnace oil, LPG, LDO or natural gas, it can provide cost savings of upto 65% ! That’s a terrific amount of savings for companies that have heating costs as a significant component of their total energy costs. EAI’s bio-energy team is one of the few consulting firms in India that have assisted large scale users of fossil fuels to shift to biomass for industrial heating/drying.
Diversification into/within Biomass Energy & Biofuels – We assist businesses identify attractive opportunities along the entire bio-energy value chain. This includes opportunities in biomass combustion and gasification based power production, use of pyrolysis for heat and value added products and emerging opportunities in second and third generation biofuels.
Market Entry for International Firms – We provide hands on assistance to international bio-energy and biofuels firms (equipment suppliers, component manufacturers, technology/IP solution providers) keen on entering the Indian market. This assistance can be in terms of providing in-depth intelligence about the Indian bio-energy market, and assistance in setting up of their India operations.
Research and Publications – Our whitepapers and comprehensive reports on bio-energy (both biomass power and biofuels) are eagerly read by decision makers across the world. Topics range from mainstream (biomass gasification for power) to niche domains (comprehensive reports on algae fuels, cellulosic ethanol, and jatropha biodiesel).
