According to renewable energy estimates related to agricultural residues, how much energy generation potentialexists from agricultural residues in India?

Agricultural residues in India have the potential to generate more than 18,000 megawatts of energy, according to estimates from the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy. Crop residues and agricultural waste can be processed through bioenergy technologies such as biomass power plants, biogas generation, and biofuel production. Instead of burning residues, which contributes to air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, these materials can be converted into renewable energy sources. This approach supports both sustainable energy production and improved waste management within the agricultural sector.
