Under the India-Denmark Green Strategic Partnership, EUSUSO Denmark and REnergy Dynamics (RED) have signed a landmark letter of intent to collaborate on establishing state-of-the-art Compressed Bio-Gas (CBG) plants in India. This exclusive joint venture aims to leverage Denmark’s 40 years of expertise in CBG technology to significantly contribute to India’s growing CBG industry. The proposed CBG plants will incorporate a cutting-edge, patented Danish pre-treatment system, CELLEBRIQTM, designed to enhance anaerobic digestion efficiency. This system transforms agricultural residues, such as paddy and straw, from hydrophobic to hydrophilic through a mechanical steam blast process, reducing straw volume by up to 85%. This transformation not only facilitates easier transportation and digestion but also optimizes methane yield potential by 16-18% for paddy straw. The system’s digesters achieve a remarkable turnaround time of just 20 days, significantly accelerating CBG production. Dr. Torben A. Bonde, founder of Biofuel Technology and Kinetic Biofuel, holds the patent for CELLEBRIQTM, including the briquetting technology often termed mechanical steam explosion. EUSUSO has the rights to bring this technology to India and is entering into a joint venture with RED to set up multiple plants across the country. “We are delighted to collaborate with EUSUSO Denmark for CELLEBRIQTM. EUSUSO is a trailblazer in providing sustainable technology solutions for the biofuels sector. Our endeavor is to bring state-of-the-art green technologies to India and provide a positive impetus to India’s energy transition,” said Kushagra Nandan, Co-Founder, Chairman, and MD of RED. Lars Rosgaard, CEO of EUSUSO, affirmed, “EUSUSO is dedicated to importing top-tier Danish technologies to India, the world’s most rapidly expanding bioenergy market. We anticipate a pivotal role in sustaining this sector and look forward to further expanding our collaboration with REnergy Dynamics in the future.” Varun Karad, Co-Founder and CEO of RED, stated, “Our joint venture endeavors to introduce one of the world’s premier and commercially proven technologies for processing crop residues efficiently and economically. We have already identified a site for our inaugural project and are presently engaged in land due diligence and assessing feedstock availability.” EUSUSO’s advanced technologies and processes are setting new standards in CBG production and sustainability. Drawing on successful European precedents, where similar technologies generate approximately 400-450 Nm³ of CBG per ton of volatile solids, this collaboration aims to replicate these achievements in India. By harnessing Danish expertise and adapting it to Indian scales, EUSUSO Denmark and REnergy Dynamics are poised to lead a new era of sustainable energy production in the region. |
