Building a Sustainable Energy Future

From a Local Energy Challenge to a Nationwide Clean Energy Movement

We began our journey in the Renewable Energy sector from Burdwan, West Bengal, widely known as the “Granary of Bengal” because of its abundant paddy production. With more than 600 plue rice mills operating across the district, Burdwan has long been an important hub for the rice-processing industry.

Our journey began by addressing a critical energy challenge faced by these industries and has since grown into a nationwide mission to promote clean, sustainable and cost-effective energy solutions.

Addressing the Energy Crisis in Rice Mills

A Practical Solution to Rising Fuel Costs

In the year 2000, rice millers in Burdwan faced a major challenge due to the rapid escalation in diesel prices. Many rice mills operated their own captive power plants using Diesel Generator (DG) Sets, resulting in significantly higher energy costs.

The rising cost of diesel was affecting their competitiveness and making long-term sustainability increasingly difficult.

The industry approached us to find a more economical and sustainable energy solution.

Introducing Gasifier Technology

We introduced gasifier technology, enabling rice mills to use their own rice husk as a renewable fuel source.

This provided two major advantages:

Significant reduction in fuel costs, with savings of up to approximately 70% in suitable applications.
Effective utilization of rice husk, which was previously a major disposal challenge for rice mills.

The successful implementation of gasifier technology demonstrated the potential of agricultural waste as a valuable source of renewable energy.

Moving Towards Cogeneration Technology

Harnessing Rice Husk for Steam and Power

Following the success of gasifier technology, we began working with larger rice mills operating continuously.

In 2005, we introduced cogeneration technology, allowing industries to utilize rice husk in high-pressure boilers and generate both steam and electricity through a turbine system.

This approach enabled industries to make better use of their renewable fuel resources while meeting their captive energy requirements.

Development of Multi-Fuel Boiler Technology

As the adoption of renewable fuels increased, boiler manufacturers also developed and adapted their systems to operate on multiple fuel sources rather than coal alone.

These developments helped expand the application of renewable-energy-based cogeneration across a wider range of industries.

Expanding Renewable Energy Solutions Across Industries

Following the successful implementation of cogeneration technology in the rice mill sector, we expanded our solutions to other industries where renewable fuels and industrial by-products were readily available.

Our technology and expertise have been applied across sectors including:

Industries We Serve

+ Rice Mills
+ Paper Mills
+ Distilleries
+ Solvent Extraction Plants
+ Sugar Mills
+ Food Processing Industries
+ Starch Industries
+ Tea Industries
+ And other energy-intensive industries

By utilizing renewable biomass and industrial by-products as fuel, industries can generate captive electricity and process steam while reducing dependence on conventional fossil fuels.

Over 550 Renewable Energy Installations

Proven Technology. Nationwide Experience.

Our continued efforts in the renewable energy sector have contributed to the installation of more than 550 renewable-energy-based units across India to date.

Over the years, we have worked with industries to identify available renewable fuel resources and develop appropriate energy-generation solutions around their specific operational requirements.

Our experience spans different industrial sectors, fuel types and energy-generation applications.

Supporting a Sustainable Energy Future

Government and International Support

Renewable-energy-based power generation has also received support through various government and international initiatives.

Eligible projects utilizing renewable energy as fuel may benefit from mechanisms such as Central Financial Assistance (CFA) and Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs), subject to applicable government policies and eligibility criteria.

International climate initiatives have also supported emission-reduction projects through mechanisms associated with the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), including Certified Emission Reductions (CERs), commonly referred to as carbon credits.

These initiatives have helped encourage industries to adopt cleaner energy-generation technologies.

Turning Industrial Waste into Renewable Energy

A Sustainable Approach to Industrial By-Products

One important example is the distillery industry, where the disposal and management of spent wash has historically been a significant challenge.

Through appropriate technologies and processes, certain industrial by-products such as spent wash can be utilized as a renewable energy resource, helping industries address both waste-management and energy requirements.

This approach reflects our core philosophy:

Industrial waste can become a valuable resource when the right technology is applied.

Our Commitment to Clean Energy

Our journey in renewable energy continues.

We are committed to helping industries generate captive power and process steam using renewable and locally available energy resources. By reducing dependence on conventional fuels and utilizing renewable biomass and industrial by-products, our solutions aim to contribute to:

+Lower energy costs
+Improved industrial efficiency
+Better utilization of waste and biomass
+Reduced dependence on fossil fuels
+Lower environmental impact
+More sustainable industrial operations

We believe that the transition towards cleaner energy requires practical, commercially viable and industry-specific solutions.

Expanding into New Renewable Energy Technologies

Our expertise and interests extend beyond biomass-based energy solutions.

We are also actively involved in other areas of renewable energy, including:

Solar Energy

Developing and supporting solar-energy solutions for cleaner and sustainable power generation.

Wind Energy

Exploring wind-energy opportunities to support renewable electricity generation.

Hydel Energy

Working with hydropower opportunities as another source of clean and renewable energy.

Looking Towards the Future

Our Journey Continues

From addressing the diesel crisis faced by rice mills in Burdwan in 2000 to supporting renewable-energy projects across India, our journey has always been driven by one objective — finding practical ways for industries to adopt cleaner and more sustainable energy solutions.

With extensive experience in renewable-energy-based power and cogeneration projects, we look forward to supporting more industries in the years ahead.

Our vision is to help industries generate their own power and steam, utilize renewable resources efficiently, reduce their environmental impact and move towards a cleaner energy future.
