EUSUSO Denmark and REnergy Dynamics (RED) signed a letter of intent to collaborate on exclusively establishing state-of-the-art CBG plants in India. The exclusive joint venture aims to leverage Danish expertise accumulated over forty years in CBG technology to contribute significantly to India’s burgeoning CBG industry.
The proposed CBG plants will integrate a cutting-edge, patented Danish pre-treatment system, CELLEBRIQTM, designed to enhance the efficiency of anaerobic digestion. The system transforms agricultural residues, such as paddy and straw, from hydrophobic to hydrophilic through a mechanical steam blast process, reducing straw volume by up to 85%.
The transformation not only facilitates easier transportation and digestion but also optimizes methane yield potential by 16-18% for paddy straw. Moreover, the system’s digesters achieve a remarkable turnaround time of just 20 days, significantly accelerating CBG production.
Dr. Torben A. Bonde, Founder of Biofuel Technology and Kinetic Biofuel is the patent holder for the CELLEBRIQTM including the briquetting technology often termed mechanical steam explosion. EUSUSO has the rights to bring this technology to India, which is entering into a Joint Venture with RED to set up multiple plants in India.
Dedicated to transforming waste into valuable commodities, EUSUSO’s advanced technologies and processes set new standards in CBG production and sustainability. Drawing on successful European precedents, where similar technologies generate approximately 400-450 Nm³ of CBG per ton of volatile solids, this collaboration aims to replicate these achievements in India.
By harnessing Danish know-how and adapting it to Indian scales, EUSUSO Denmark and REnergy Dynamics are poised to spearhead a new era of sustainable energy production in the region.
As per the press release, India’s compressed bio-gas sector is rapidly evolving, bolstered by supportive government policies and a growing ecosystem. With nearly 60% of its land dedicated to agriculture, India boasts a vast array of agricultural feedstocks, totaling approximately 1.2 billion tons annually, with 40% considered surplus.
