Biomass energy is one of the renewable energy which not only a green energy but also solve out the waste disposal problem which is among the major concern issues of today’s world. The biogas obtained from the biomass is rich in methane which has higher calorific value than LPG, thus a better fuel for household and even transportation purposes. This biomass energy can be converted into electricity also. This paper presents the analysis of the potential Punjab has as biomass energy producer. Punjab is among the leading producers of wheat, paddy etc. which are the good biomass sources for biomass energy. This paper presents the district wise biomass availability in Punjab and further presents a report on how much the coal and cost can be saved after installing the biomass energy harnessing system to produce electricity in Punjab.
