Assam CM unveiled North East’s 1st compressed biogas plant
Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma attended the event to lay the cornerstone for the first compressed biogas plant project in northeast India, which was held at Domora Pathar in Sonapur under the Kamrup (Metropolitan) district. The plant, which is being built by businessmen Pankaj Gogoi and Rakesh Doley under the name Redlemon Technologies, will have a 5 tonne per day production capacity for compressed biogas from raw materials like municipal solid wastes and cattle manure. It is anticipated to start operating in November 2023.
Key Points
- The Sonapur compressed biogas plant would significantly contribute to the Assam government’s goal of making a gradual transition to cleaner and greener energy.
- The compressed biogas facilities, like the one being developed in Sonapur, would not only help with municipal solid waste management issues, but they would also give farmers another source of income because they would be able to sell livestock dung to the biogas producers.
- The organic fertilisers that would be generated as a byproduct of methane in such compressed biogas facilities, he further expressed the expectation, would offer a safer alternative to chemical fertilisers currently used throughout the State.
