MELGIRI GREEN ENERGIES PRIVATE LIMITED

In their own words

Project objectives Main objective of the project is the commercial production of biogas out of different organic wastes with advantages of emission reduction and renewable energy generation. In general, the project brings: • Improvement of overall waste management in the area • Increased recycling levels and reduction of organic waste in landfills • Obtaining a quality compost to be used as an organic amendment that contributes to improve soil fertility. • To stop the desertification process and to capture carbon in soil. • These factors add up to the climate change mitigation (reduction of biogas generated in landfills), to the use of resources (closing the cycle of organic fraction) or reducing the overall impact of landfills (including the reduced capacity of needs). DETAILS OF THE PROJECT Energy is a necessary concomitant of human existence. Although many sources of energy exist in nature, it is coal, electricity and fossil oil which have been commercially exploited for many useful purposes. This century has witnessed the phenomenal growth of various industries based on these energy sources. They have application in agricultural farms and have domestic use in one form or other. Fossil oil, in particular has played the most significant role in the growth of industry and agriculture, which would be recorded in the history of progress of human race in golden words. Whether it is flying in the air or speeding automobiles on the roads or heating and prime moving in the industry or petro-chemicals and fertilizers for farms or synthetics for daily use or cooking at home, all have been made possible by one single source - fossil oil. By now, it has penetrated so deep into the mechanism of human living that man is not prepared to accept the fact that this useful source of energy is not going to last very long. But that is the fact of life. Once fossil oil was available easily and at lower prices irrespective of its origin of supply. It has now been scarce and costly. The immediate effect of this is that the world is in a grip of inflation and rising prices. Today, energy crisis has mainly emerged from the fear that the boons of fossil oil may turn into a bane as the disappearance of fossil oil would compel the habits and practices of living of the society to change. That is the crisis and that is the compulsion for search alternate sources of energy. It is evident that no single source of energy would be capable of replacing fossil oil completely which has diverse applications. On the other hand, dependence on fossil oil would have to be reduced at a faster pace so as to stretch its use for longer period and in critical sectors till some appropriate alternative energy sources preferably renewable ones are made available. Presently, the country is spending a fortune in importing fossil oil which can hardly be afforded for long on the face of developmental needs. Methane gas and more popularly known as bio-gas is one such alternate sources of energy which has been identified as a useful hydro-carbon with combustible qualities as that of other hydrocarbons. Though its calorific value is not high as some products of fossil oil and other energy sources, it can meet needs of ever growing demand for fuels. Following table would provide an idea of comparative heat values and thermal efficiency of commonly used fuels in the household and farms. The production and utilization of biogas from agriculture waste provides environmental and socioeconomic benefits for the society as a whole as well as for the involved farmers. Utilization of the internal value chain of biogas production enhances local economic capabilities, safeguards jobs in rural areas and increases regional purchasing power. It improves living standards and contributes to economic and social development. BENEFITS FOR THE SOCIETY Renewable energy source The current global energy supply is highly dependent on fossil sources (crude oil, lignite, hard coal, natural gas). These are fossilized remains of dead plants and animals, which have been exposed to heat and pressure in the Earth's crust over hundreds of millions of years. For this reason, fossil fuels are non-renewable resources which reserves are being depleted much faster than new ones are being formed The World’s economies are dependent today of crude oil. There is some disagreement among scientists on how long this fossil resource will last but according to researchers, the “peak oil production”* has already occurred or it is expected to occur within the next period of time Unlike fossil fuels, biogas from AD is permanently renewable, as it is produced on biomass, which is actually a living storage of solar energy through photosynthesis. Biogas from AD will not only improve the energy balance of a country but also make an important contribution to the preservation of the natural resources and to environmental protection.
