Case Study

TATA Tea Estate 30 CUM Biogas plant

A 5kW residential solar solution installed for Rekha Pathak in Ghaziabad to power a sustainable home.

TATA Tea Estate 30 CUM Biogas plant

Tata Tea Estate in Assam was facing a significant challenge in managing large volumes of 500kg tea waste generated during processing. Improper disposal was leading to environmental concerns, including rising carbon emissions and increasing electricity and fuel costs.

They required an eco-friendly approach to overcome these issues effectively. As a solution to this, a commercial biogas plant of 30 CUM capacity was installed. Through this system, organic tea waste is being converted into a valuable energy resource. The project was executed following trusted references and word of mouth, ensuring confidence in adopting sustainable technology.

Powering Sustainability: Real Impact of Biogas Innovation

Watch how the 30 CUM biogas plant at TATA Tea Estate transforms organic waste into clean energy. This case study highlights real-world benefits like cost savings, eco-friendly operations, and sustainable waste management.

Objectives

To overcome the problems of tea waste management and energy efficiency, adopt a commercial biogas plant.

01.

To manage tea waste efficiently and reduce environmental impact

02.

To implement a Commercial Biogas Plant for clean energy generation

03.

To reduce electricity and fuel costs through in-house energy production

04.

To lower carbon emissions and promote eco-friendly operations

Challenges

Overcoming waste management and energy inefficiencies with sustainable solutions.

Tea Waste Disposal Issues

Large quantities of tea waste were being generated daily, and effective disposal systems were not in place.

Increasing Carbon Emissions

Traditional waste handling methods were contributing to higher carbon emissions and environmental pollution.

High Energy and Fuel Costs

Operational costs were rising due to dependence on conventional electricity and fuel sources.

Impact

Delivering measurable environmental and economic benefits with a Commercial Biogas Plant.

Effective Organic Waste Management

Tea waste is now being efficiently processed, reducing environmental pollution and improving site cleanliness.

Reduction in Power Dependency

Energy is being generated on-site through the Commercial Biogas Plant, leading to partial reduction in electricity usage.

Organic Manure Generation

Biogas slurry is being produced and utilized as high-quality organic manure, enhancing soil health.

Reduced Carbon Emissions

Carbon emissions have been significantly reduced, creating a positive environmental impact.
