Indian Oil Corporation’s second compressed biogas (CBG) plant in Gorakhpur, Uttar Pradesh was inaugurated by Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh Yogi Adityanath. The gas generation (EPCC 1) and gas purification (EPCC 4) aspects of the project were spearheaded by CEID Consultant and Engineering, known for its CBG technology, approved by MOPNG, aimed at promoting clean energy solutions and environmental stewardship.
By utilizing agricultural waste, the plant is set to generate a minimum of 20 tons of pure CBG per day, making a significant impact on waste management and reducing the carbon footprint associated with traditional farming practices. Furthermore, the project stands as a beacon of progress in fostering public-private partnerships for the greater good.
Prince Gandhi, founder & CEO, CEID Consultant and Engineering, said, “Our expertise in EPC services has enabled us to deliver innovative solutions that harness renewable resources like paddy straws for clean energy generation. With ongoing collaborations with GAIL and other PSUs and our recent MOU signing with IGL at India Energy Week, we are committed to accelerating the transition towards sustainable energy across India.”
Deepak Prajapati, CTO, CEID Consultant and Engineering, stated, “With our purification technology, coupled with the utilization of high-quality, state-of-the-art equipment, this project stands as a testament to our commitment to innovation and excellence in the renewable energy sector.”
Abhinav Govil, DGM marketing, CEID Consultant and Engineering, said, “This plant signifies our dedication to utilizing agricultural waste, particularly paddy straw, to produce clean energy, generating 20 tons of CBG per day. Our first plant in UP, operating on multi feedstock and producing 5TPD CBG, located in the Hapur district, has been successfully operational for more than a year. With 14 additional plants scheduled for commissioning in UP within the next year, we eagerly anticipate continuing our journey towards a greener future.”
An additional significant aspect of the project lies in its profound impact on rural economies. By harnessing 200 tons per day of agricultural waste, the plant not only offers an eco-friendly solution to waste management but also fosters job creation within local communities. Moreover, with CEID overseeing the operation and maintenance, employing 120 individuals, this initiative further contributes to employment generation. By diversifying the energy mix and diminishing reliance on fossil fuels, the CBG plant in Gorakhpur assumes a pivotal role in propelling India’s sustainable development agenda forward.
