India is one of the largest tea producers in the world. In 2008, the country produced 980 million kilograms of tea, of which southern India contributed 246 million kilos (24%). Southern India is home to about 350 tea factories, of which 125 fall in the small-scale sector. Tea production is an energy-intensive process, with energy costs constituting approximately 30% of the total cost. Tea factories use both electrical energy and thermal energy to process green tea leaves into the market-ready product. Almost all tea factories in southern India rely heavily on biomass-firewood or biomass briquettes- to meet their thermal energy needs...
