As the nation takes a fast track towards growth and success, amidst emerging concerns about adopting an inclusive and sustainable approach towards growth that benefits our entire population, energy access and security is one of the key challenges faced by our country today. Energy lies at the core of any country's growth and plays a big role in economic and social development. With conventional energy sources getting scarcer by the day, there is a growing focus on renewable energy sources that can lead to energy independence for the nation.
 
 
In the past decade, policy makers in central as well as some state governments have shown considerable interest in bio energy. Instability of oil prices, surging energy demand in the country, and greater awareness about climate change threats due to fossil fuel usage have primarily contributed to this renewed interest in bio energy. However, it is extremely encouraging to witness a phase alongside that is marked by the development of more efficient and cost-effective bio energy technologies. India is currently experiencing a surge in energy demand. Growing import dependence and greater consensus at policy level about the need and utility of tapping into national bio resources for energy supply has created impetus for greater research initiatives, private investment and promotion of bio energy technologies.
