The Problem: Waste That Could Be Energy

Every day, millions of tonnes of kitchen and organic waste are dumped in landfills across India. This not only pollutes the environment but also releases methane β€” a greenhouse gas 25 times more harmful than COβ‚‚.

At the same time, households, restaurants, and farms spend heavily on LPG cylinders and diesel generators.

πŸ‘‰ The solution? Biogas plants, which convert everyday waste into clean, renewable energy.

At Surya Renewable Energy Systems (SRES), we design biogas systems that help families, businesses, and farmers transform organic waste into energy while protecting the planet.

How a Biogas Plant Works

  1. Collection – Organic waste (kitchen scraps, manure, farm residue) is fed into the digester.

  2. Decomposition – Microorganisms break down the waste in an oxygen-free environment.

  3. Gas Production – The process produces biogas (a mix of methane & COβ‚‚) that can be used for cooking, heating, or electricity generation.

  4. By-product (Slurry) – The leftover slurry becomes organic fertilizer for agriculture.

It’s a simple cycle: waste in β†’ energy + fertilizer out.

Benefits of Biogas Plants

1. Cost Savings

  • Households save money on LPG cylinders.

  • Farmers reduce diesel costs for pumps and generators.

2. Free Organic Fertilizer

The slurry by-product enriches soil, reducing dependence on chemical fertilizers.

3. Waste Reduction

Keeps organic waste out of landfills, reducing pollution and foul odors.

4. Clean & Renewable Energy

Biogas is a carbon-neutral fuel β€” every unit of waste turned into gas offsets greenhouse emissions.

5. Energy Independence

Homes, restaurants, and farms can generate their own energy supply without relying on fluctuating fuel prices.

Real-Life Example: A Farm in Andhra Pradesh

An SRES biogas plant installed at a dairy farm in Andhra Pradesh now processes cow dung + kitchen waste daily.

  • Produces enough biogas to replace 3 LPG cylinders per month.

  • Saves the farmer nearly β‚Ή3,000 monthly.

  • Provides free fertilizer for crops, reducing expenses further.

The result? A closed-loop sustainable system that saves money and supports the environment.

Who Can Benefit from Biogas Plants?

  • Households – Turn daily kitchen waste into cooking gas.

  • Restaurants & Hotels – Manage large volumes of food waste sustainably.

  • Farms & Dairies – Use manure and crop residue for energy and fertilizer.

  • Institutions – Schools, colleges, and hostels can save big on LPG costs.
