In today’s world, finding maintainable and productive vitality sources is more vital than ever, with a growing consciousness of sustainable development and environmental concerns such as climate change, the focus on energy production worldwide has shifted towards renewable energy resources, specifically biomass.
Using biomass for producing energy is one of the most ancient practices in renewable energy, but advancement in the field and selection of bio-power has largely been caused by routine fossil fills that have driven large-scale natural debasement
Cheema Boilers Limited (CBL) is committed to conserving energy while preserving the environment, two areas critically monitored worldwide. We support businesses with 100% biomass-fired boilers to ensure fuel savings and lower emissions. CBL has already made a mark for itself in the last three decades by manufacturing premium range boilers and allied products for clients across the globe maximising its reach worldwide.
CBL biomass boilers offer numerous benefits as a sustainable and cost-effective energy solution for businesses. Biomass boilers utilise organic materials as fuel, which minimises environmental impact and reduces greenhouse gas emissions. Other benefits include cost savings and efficiency, scaling up for commercial and industrial use, fuel availability and security, carbon neutrality and carbon offsetting, waste reduction and circular economy, etc.
Biomass boilers are already gaining popularity in Industrial/commercial sectors as the world shifts towards greener energy solutions. They provide a reliable and cost-effective way to produce warmth while decreasing reliance on fossil fuels. Unlike fossil fuels, biomass is renewable and can be sourced sustainably. This makes biomass boilers an excellent choice for diminishing carbon emanations and advancing environmental sustainability.
CBL offers a diverse range of boilers along with fuel compatibilities attuned to the modern-day industrial needs. With the state of the art engineering, CBL has developed various technical solutions to burn biomass fuels and recently invented one of the world-class water-cooled vibratory grate boilers which are leading the way in burning crop residue, especially, paddy/rice straw as fuel in bale form in boiler for heat generation.
With current installations, CBL boilers are already utilising more than 1.5 million MT of paddy straw annually, contributing to reducing carbon emissions significantly.
Other boilers, such as reciprocating and pulsating grate (RG/PG) boilers, travelling/stoker grates, and dumping grate-fired boilers, are widely preferred by buyers for burning biomass fuels available in their region.
RG/PG boilers are suitable options to burn briquettes/pellets, agro & forest waste fuels, industrial waste, lumpy fuels, etc. CBL has recently installed this type of boiler in Asia’s first 2G ethanol production plant inaugurated by the Prime Minister of India Mr Narendra Modi in Indian Oil Corporation Limited (Panipat refinery), Panipat, Haryana.

This boiler is designed to cater to all the by-product waste released after ethanol production along with paddy/rice straw to achieve net zero discharge from the plant.
This plant will process 2.1 lakh metric tonnes of rice/paddy straw annually to generate 3 crore litres of ethanol which will be blended in petrol. This single plant will help to incentivise agriculturists to pick elective strategies of stubble transfer, hardly decrease India’s oil import bill and prevent CO2 emissions to the extent that it will single-handedly avoid approximately 3 lakh MT of CO2 outflows per annum from entering the environment, equivalent to evacuating 62000 cars from Indian roads.
A travelling/stoker grate boiler is traditionally used for all types of bio-mass and sugar industry waste (bagasse).
Each biomass fuel has its characteristics and appropriateness for distinctive evaporator sorts and applications. CBL helps in short-listing the right option for a biomass boiler to ensure maximised efficiency, reliability (run-time) and performance.
The role of government plays an important role in implementing the policies to ensure the availability and utilisation of bio-mass fuels in industrial sectors and power plants.
The government of India is already providing central financial assistance (CFA) and fiscal incentives to facilitate the development of biomass power generation projects and bagasse cogeneration projects. Other initiatives such as the biomass programme, carbon credit trading, and mandates to co-fire biomass in TPPs contribute to the utilisation of biomass in industrial sectors.
With India’s target to become energy independent by 2047 and net zero carbon emission by 2070, biomass, an alternative source of energy, would play an important role in terms of energy security and energy transition and CBL is already steaming ahead to upgrade itself technologically to contribute to India’s growth and developing state-of-the-art boilers.
