Success Story First Biogas Bottling Pla
Ministry of New and Renewable Energy
(Bio-energy Technology Development Group- BGFP)
*******
The first Biogas Bottling Plant towards commercialization in India – A success story
Keeping in view the energy shortage in the country there is a need to tap biomass resources such as cattle dung, kitchen waste, agricultural waste etc for generation of biogas through the involvement of entrepreneurs and industries to set up decentralised biogas based energy infrastructure in the country, at the potential sites where biomass available is plenty.
Under technology demonstration of new RDD&D Policy of Ministry of New and Renewable
Energy (MNRE), the Ministry took up a new initiative for bottling of biogas to demonstrate an
Integrated Technology-package in entrepreneurial mode on medium size mixed feed biogas-fertilizer plants (BGFP) for generation, purification/enrichment, bottling and piped distribution of biogas.
Installation of such plants aims at meeting stationary and motive power, cooling, refrigeration and electricity needs in addition to cooking and heating requirements. There could be a huge potential of installation of medium size biogas-fertilizer plants in the country. Under the demonstration phase, the Ministry is providing a central financial assistance from 30-50% of the cost (excluding cost of land) for a limited number of such projects for implementation following an entrepreneurial mode on
Built, Own and Operate (BOO) and re-imbursement basis.
The proposals are proposed to be evaluated by experts and considered by Technology
Demonstration Appraisal Committee of the Ministry. Recommended projects are to be implemented, operated and owned by the concerned industries/entrepreneurs/ project developers.
A 500cum biogas generation per day capacity BGFP project for generation, purification/enrichment, bottling of biogas has sanctioned by the MNRE with Rs. 50 lakh CFA during the year 2009-10 to Ashoka Biogreen Pvt. Ltd. at vill.- Talwade, Dist. – Nasik (Maharashtra).
