300 CUM Biogas plant (Venco Research)-2 in Dehradun

Venco Research and Breeding Farms, located in Dehradun, faced a critical challenge in managing poultry waste generated from approximately 30,000 birds. A large volume of poultry litter was produced daily, raising environmental concerns and increasing operational costs. Increased carbon emissions, along with high electricity and fuel costs, further burdened the economy.

To address these issues, a Commercial Biogas Plant of 300 CUM capacity was adopted. The system was implemented to convert poultry waste into clean energy and organic manure. Through this sustainable solution, waste was efficiently managed, and valuable resources were recovered.

Objectives

The objectives for Venco focused on driving sustainability, efficiency, and cost reduction through a Commercial Biogas Plant.

01.

To establish an effective system for poultry waste management

02.

To reduce dependency on conventional electricity and fuel sources

03.

To lower carbon emissions and environmental impact

04.

To generate value added by products like organic manure

Challenges

Key issues in waste management and energy dependency

Excess Poultry Litter

Large-scale poultry production from 40,000 birds generated continuous waste, making disposal difficult and inefficient.

Environmental Pollution

Improper handling of poultry waste was increasing carbon emissions and negatively affecting the surrounding environment.

High Energy Consumption

The farm relied heavily on external electricity and fuel, resulting in high operational costs.

Impact

The after impacts benefit from adopting a Commercial Biogas Plant

Efficient Waste Management

Poultry waste is now handled and managed properly through the Commercial Biogas Plant.

Partial Energy Independence

The farm now generates its own electricity, reducing its dependency on the main grid.

Organic Manure Production

The leftover biogas is used as an organic fertiliser for crop production.

Reduced Carbon Emissions

The pollution and carbon emissions are reduced through the use of a commercial biogas plant.
