New Delhi: Jain Irrigation Systems Ltd and Vadodara-based Ankur Scientific have entered into a partnership to set up an agriculture waste-to-energy project in Jalgaon, Maharashtra, aimed at converting farm residue into thermal energy and biochar while providing farmers an additional income source from crop waste.
The plant, which will deploy multi-feedstock gasification technology, is designed to process close to 50 tonnes of agricultural biomass per day. It is expected to generate approximately 90 MWh of thermal energy in the form of syngas and produce nearly 12 tonnes of biochar daily.
