Indian Oils second compressed biogas plant, manufactured by CEID, inaugurated by CM Yogi Adityanath in Gorakhpur

Indian Oil Corporation Ltd’s second Compressed Biogas (CBG) plant was inaugurated by Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath in Gorakhpur on Tuesday. The gas generation (EPCC 1) and gas purification (EPCC 4) aspects of the project were spearheaded by CEID Consultant and Engineering Pvt Ltd, known for its CBG technology approved by MOPNG, aimed at promoting clean energy solutions and environmental stewardship.

By utilizing agricultural waste, the plant is set to generate a minimum of 20 tons of pure compressed Biogas (CBG) per day, making a significant impact on waste management and reducing the carbon footprint associated with traditional farming practices. The initiative supports CEID’s commitment to sustainable energy and aligns with UP government's vision for promoting clean and renewable energy sources. 

Prince Gandhi, Founder & CEO, of CEID Consultant and Engineering Pvt Ltd expressed his pride in the project, stating, “I am thrilled to witness the successful commissioning of the CBG plant in Gorakhpur, marking another milestone in our partnership with IOCL. Our expertise in EPC services has enabled us to deliver innovative solutions that harness renewable resources like paddy straws for clean energy generation. With ongoing collaborations with GAIL and other PSUs and our recent MOU signing with IGL at India Energy Week, we are committed to accelerating the transition towards sustainable energy across India.”

Abhinav Govil, DGM Marketing, CEID Consultant and Engineering Pvt Ltd further states, "As pioneers in sustainable energy solutions within the CBG sector, we take pride in implementing the second CBG plant in Uttar Pradesh. This plant signifies our dedication to utilizing agricultural waste, particularly paddy straw, to produce clean energy, generating 20 tons of CBG per day. Our first plant in UP, operating on multi feedstock and producing 5TPD CBG, located in the Hapur district, has been successfully operational for more than a year. With 14 additional plants scheduled for commissioning in UP within the next year, we eagerly anticipate continuing our journey towards a greener future.”

By harnessing 200 tons per day of agricultural waste, the plant not only offers an eco-friendly solution to waste management but also fosters job creation within local communities by employing 120 individuals.
