Abstract
The availability of surplus paddy straw in the State of Punjab, India is nearly ten times that of the State of California, USA. At present most of the paddy straw is generally burnt in the field but both countries have now realised the scope and potential of paddy straw as fuel for power generation. The total power generating potential of paddy straw in Punjab State is around 1600 MW e. The variables for determining optimal size of electric power plants based on biomass are not precisely known at present, but from available information the optimal size is considered to be about 40 MW for the Punjab State where such power generation needs to be considered as part of the larger economic and social system of India.
