The report forecast that the market for wood fuel pellets is expected to double by 2012 from the 2008 level of nine million tonnes.
Russia has signed more than 700 million dollars in deals to supply India's nuclear reactors with fuel pellets, since the 45-nation Nuclear Suppliers Group last September lifted a ban on nuclear trade with India.
If approval is given tomorrow, officers will go to the market with four options - burning waste to produce energy, turning waste into gas to provide energy (gasification), using high-temperature steam to "cook" and clean waste, leaving a fibrous material to use as roof tiles or fuel, and converting waste into fuel pellets and burning them for industrial uses such as cement kilns.
