Technologies to produce electricity from biomass through combustion and heating are on the rise. Various different technologies are used for the production of electricity through biomass. Caused by the logistic frame conditions of biomass production, storage and transportation as well as the possibility to use the thermal energy for community heating, decentralized power plants are the most economical. The use of Biomass is continuous on the rise as it has emerged as a viable energy source for generating power. Biomass energy generates far less emissions than fossil fuels. Its use leads to environment benefits particularly to the reduction of atmospheric CO2 concentrations. In India the principal competing source for electricity is the coal based power. Associated with conventional electric power plants are some negative social and environmental externalities. Throughout the coal and nuclear fuel cycles there are significant environmental and social damages, contrarily biomass energy cost is highly variable depending upon the source, location etc. In this research paper a review and study is done of two Biomass based power plants operating in Kota district of Rajasthan .These plants are using Biomass as a feedstock for the generation of power.
