Gruner Renewable Energy (Gruner) has announced plans to construct Asia’s largest compressed biogas (CBG) plant in Navsari, Gujarat. The project, which will cost an estimated Rs 220 crore ($26.3m), aims to produce 44 tonnes of biogas daily, translating to an annual production of over 16,000 tonnes.
The plant will leverage a variety of cost-effective feedstocks, including paddy, pressmud, canetrash, and municipal solid waste (MSW) in collaboration with an unnamed ‘leading’ business conglomerate.
The use of diverse biomass and waste materials not only provides a renewable energy source but also tackles waste management issues, converting potential pollutants into valuable resources. This approach aligns with India’s broader goals of promoting green energy and sustainable waste management practices.
Highlighting the project’s potential to reduce India’s reliance on fossil fuels, Utkarsh Gupta, Founder and CEO at Gruner, said, “The establishment of this CBG plant will play a crucial role in lowering the nation’s crude oil import expenses.”
