Bio Gas Bottling Plant

 The winters have always been tough for Delhi as the air quality slumps with season getting cold. Stubble burning in the neighboring states adds to their woes and the AQI tells you the story. The issue has long been debated as the deteriorating air quality has always been a health and environmental hazard; however, lately not surprisingly it has snowballed into a political issue as well. After Delhi, Aam Aadmi Party formed the government in Punjab as well and that has set new political positioning as far as the issue is concerned. Amidst all of this, the Punjab government's strategy to counter air pollution by curbing stubble burning showed some light as they commissioned Asia’s largest compressed biogas plant in Bhutan Kalal village, Sangrur this April. The plant spread over 20 acres of land is expected to be put to test this winter. The plant came into existence to convert a huge volume of paddy straw into renewable energy. Compressed biogas plant manufacturers say that the plan...

India has seen a surge in CBG plants in recent years and that can be attributed to the increasing awareness across the globe. As we all know that India is one of the fastest growing economies in the world and its energy consumption is also increasing rapidly. India is looking to increase its dependence on sustainable energy options. India imports about 77 percent of its crude oil requirements and about 50 percent of its natural gas requirements. Besides, paddy stubble burning has also been a huge challenge for the Indian government.  Many countries have used innovative methods to use paddy stubble as raw material which not only helps overcome energy limitations, but also curbs pollution by a significant margin. An Indian company is looking to set up a CBG plant in Bhutal Kalan village in Punjab which will procure paddy stubble from a 15 km radius of the plant. This paddy stubble will be used as raw material for the production of compressed biogas.  North Indian farmers tend t...

Bar Way Farm, Deerfield Massachusetts collaborated with Vanguard Renewables in 2014 to get a bio-digester installed to convert organic material such as cow poop into biogas by using specialized bacteria. This fuel scores 10 on 10 in terms of versatility once purified. Post purification, this is called biomethane or renewable natural gas.  According to Jigar Shah, co-founder of Generate Capital Inc. one of the biggest renewable natural gas owners in the country opined that natural gas producers must keep themselves prepared for the obsolescence of the natural gas utility. Bovine waste is usually stored in open lagoons. It is known for emitting methane which is a hazardous greenhouse gas. It is more than 80 times as potent as carbon dioxide would be over a period of 20 years. You must know that both methane and fossil fuel are mostly methane and although they burn more cleanly as compared to coal, yet emit CO2. Diversion of cow poop into biodigesters offers a ‘net climate win’ soluti...

Meet Andrew Fisher, the wonder man who has a working plan to deal with food waste. What more? He can turn it into natural gas. Isn’t that just amazing? The former New Zealand army special air services officer seems to be on a mission and a successful one indeed. You will be amazed to know that his company known as EcoStock Supplies has collected about 35,000 tonnes of waste every year for more than 12 years from various places such as supermarkets and different manufacturers. The waste food his company collects includes breakfast cereals, bread, chips, scraps of vegetables and pasta to name a few and then works on turning it into animal feed. It is really encouraging for people and organizations interested in Biogas production . Let’s get to know more about Andrew Fisher’s mission and how it works. You can put all of the food waste ranging from meats to pizza with scrapings of Hawaiian at the bottom. Under the leadership of Fisher, EcoStock is all set to ...

GOBAR-DHAN which stands for Galvanizing Organic Bio-Agro Resources Dhan is a visionary scheme which was launched by Ms. Uma Bharti (the then Union Minister for Sanitation & Drinking Water) and Mr. Manohar Lal Khattar (Chief Minister of Haryana) on 30th April, 2018. India first heard about the scheme during Union Budget Session 2018-2019 when it was announced by Late Mr. Arun Jaitley (the then Finance Minister). A Segment of Swacch Bharat Abhiyan (Clean India Mission) We are all aware of Swacch Bharat Abhiyan (Clean India Mission or Clean India Initiative) which was started by our Honorable Prime Minister, Mr. Narendra Modi. This mission has been close to Mr. Modi’s heart. The GOBAR-DHAN scheme is a segment of Swacch Bharat Abhiyan which is aimed at improving the living conditions in Indian villages and making them open-defecation free. This scheme will particularly focus on utilizing the waste into useful energy. The solid waste of animal dung and fields will be converte...
