A 5kW residential solar solution installed for Rekha Pathak in Ghaziabad to power a sustainable home.
IOCL R&D Centre 10 CUM Biogas Plant
The IOCL Research and Development Center in Haryana was facing a serious environmental problem due to stubble burning (agricultural residue), which was increasing air pollution and carbon emissions. An immediate and environmentally friendly solution was needed to effectively address this problem.
To tackle this problem, a Commercial Biogas Plant of 10 CUM capacity was installed. We took this initiative to convert agricultural waste into a valuable energy resource while minimizing environmental damage. The project was referred through trusted networks and word of mouth, reinforcing confidence in adopting sustainable technology.
Transforming Waste into Energy: IOCL 10 CUM Biogas Plant in Action
Discover how the IOCL R&D Centre’s 10 CUM Biogas Plant converts organic waste into clean energy. This video highlights the technology, process, and real-world impact of sustainable biogas solutions in action.
Objectives
Promote an efficient, effective biogas plant solution to advance sustainability.
01.
To remove the parali waste from burning and reduce air pollution
02.
To implement a Commercial Biogas Plant for sustainable waste management
03.
It generates clean energy and reduces dependency on conventional power sources
04.
To promote the use of organic manure and improve soil quality
Challenges
Overcoming environmental and operational barriers for sustainable implementation.
Parali Burning and Air Pollution
Huge burning of Parali waste is causing severe air pollution, which needs to be controlled urgently.
High Carbon Emissions
Carbon emissions were increasing significantly due to traditional waste disposal methods.
Lack of Sustainable Waste Management System
An efficient system for handling agricultural waste was not in place, leading to environmental degradation.
Impact
Creating measurable environmental and economic benefits through a Commercial Biogas Plant.
Effective Parali Waste Management
Agricultural waste is now being efficiently processed, reducing the need for burning and improving air quality.
Reduction in Power Dependency
Partial power requirements are being fulfilled through energy generated by the Commercial Biogas Plant, lowering electricity costs.
Organic Manure Generation
The biogas slurry produced is use as fertiliser, which improves the soil fertility.
Reduction in Carbon Emissions
A significant reduction in carbon emissions has been achieved, contributing positively to environmental sustainability.
