On 26 January 2013, the Government of India honoured him with the Padma Shri Award in the Discipline of Science and Engineering. [2]
[110] [111] In 2018, India has set a target to produce 15 million tons of biogas/bio-CNG by installing 5,000 large scale commercial type biogas plants which can produce daily 12.5 tons of bio-CNG by each plant.
The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) is a ministry of the Government of India, headed by current Union Cabinet Minister Pralhad Joshi, that is mainly responsible for research and development, intellectual property protection, and international cooperation, promotion, and coordination in renewable energy sources such as wind power, small hydro, biogas, Battery Energy Storage and ...
Most people in rural India use dried cow dung and wood gathered from forests as fuel for cooking. But these fuels are smoky and may cause serious lung and eye diseases. Collecting dung and firewood takes a great deal of time. MPRLP helps villagers draw on government funds to build their own biogas plants. This simple technology traps the ...
HILBERT — A new biogas plant came online in August in the town of Hilbert. Saturn Renewables LLC, a company created as a partnership between Archaea Energy and GFL Environmental opened its first ...
The dung and urine are flushed into a biogas plant. [2] The gas (methane) is used to operate a generator that produces power [2] for eight hours a day. This electricity is used to power the day-to-day activities on farms. Further, the slurry from the biogas plant is redirected to a bio-digester.
In 2011, India started a new initiative to demonstrate the utility of medium-size mixed feed biogas-fertilizer pilot plants. The government approved 21 projects with an aggregate capacity of 37,016 cubic meters per day, of which 2 projects were successfully commissioned by December 2011. [ 219 ]
