Project Summary
The project involves the establishment of a plant in India to convert Super Napier Grass into 10 tons per day (TPD) of Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) and 100 TPD of Value Added Solid Bio Fertilizer (PROM). The RNG and bio-fertilizer will be sold to Oil & Marketing Companies and Fertilizer Companies, respectively. The plant will utilize modular technology with a global installation basis and will leverage simulated and big data technology for efficient operation. The feedstock for the plant will be sourced from a Farmer Producer Company through contract farming and various industries in the agriculture sector. The project aligns with the ‘SATAT’ scheme by the Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas (MoPNG), aiming to boost RNG production for supply to Oil Marketing Companies, targeting a production goal of 15 million tons of RNG by 2023.
A Letter of Intent (LOI) has been signed with a recognized organization registered under the Ministry of Corporate Affairs and with multinational pharmaceutical company
Process
The RNG manufacturing process from Super Napier Grass involves harvesting, pretreatment, anaerobic digestion, purification, and upgrading. The grass is pretreated to remove impurities and undergoes anaerobic digestion to produce biogas. The biogas, primarily methane and carbon dioxide, is then purified using compression, cooling, and separation techniques to create high-purity RNG. This RNG can be used as a renewable energy source in automotive and industrial applications, offering an eco-friendly alternative to fossil fuel

Project Opportunity
The project presents a significant market opportunity within the renewable energy sector. With the launch of the ‘SATAT’ scheme by the Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas (MoPNG), the demand for Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) is expected to grow substantially. By establishing a plant that converts Super Napier Grass into RNG and value-added solid bio fertilizer, the project can tap into the market demand from Oil & Marketing Companies and Fertilizer Companies. Moreover, the use of modular technology and simulated big data operations ensures efficient and scalable production, making it well-positioned to cater to the increasing demand for RNG as a sustainable fuel source in automotive and industrial applications.
