To address energy needs in agriculture, renewable sources of energy are being deployed in fields. Efficient agri-voltaic systems developed for deployment in various crop fields with provision of rain-water harvesting. Agri-voltaic system, connected to a grid through net metering system may lead to a handsome income per acre/year. As per scientific estimates its installation in farmer’s field improves the land equivalent ratio. Standard protocols developed for ethanol production from energy feed stocks—sugarcane, sugarbeet, sweet sorghum and other cellulosic material; new crop varieties released for 1G and 2G bioethanol production.
