Abstract: . . .  technical assistance component include results of research and development activities on bagasse collection, handling, and storage; regional fuel supply assessments; establishment of a research consortium for cogeneration project developers; project promotion; and project analysis and technical studies. All project activities are progressing in accord with the project’s schedule. Over 30 proposals have been received in response to a request for proposals issued by IDBI for technical and financial . . .
. . .  million. PETC’s activities are primarily associated with the implementation of the technical assistance subcomponent, which is funded at about $2.8 million. These activities include project development assistance; support for research and development on biomass collection, storage and handling; technical and management training; and the conduct of sugar mill cogeneration workshops and seminars. Project outputs for the technical assistance component include results of research and development activities . . .
