SBESL begins biogas production at Gorakhpur plant

19 Aug 2025 CW Team

The Gorakhpur facility represents a crucial step in converting agricultural waste into sustainable and commercially viable clean fuel. It delivers long-term environmental and socio-economic benefits to the region while reducing reliance on fossil fuels.

Turning waste into clean energy

The CBG plant processes paddy straw, cow dung, and other agricultural residues to produce high-purity biogas. Its key contributions include:

Mitigating stubble burning and open-air waste disposal.
Reducing greenhouse gas emissions and fossil fuel dependency.
Ensuring a consistent clean energy supply.
Supporting rural livelihoods through employment in feedstock collection and logistics.

ORSL’s leadership in waste-to-energy

With over a decade of experience in waste valorisation, ORSL has established a strong presence in developing scalable and replicable waste-to-energy solutions across India. Its strengths include:

Advanced expertise in anaerobic digestion and automation for maximum gas yield.
Grassroots partnerships with farming communities for reliable feedstock supply.
Stringent compliance with safety and environmental regulations.
Proven track record in executing bio-CNG, biomethanation, and organic waste projects.
