Prajapati visits Reliance Compressed Bio-gas Unit

During his visit, Executive Director of MPIDC, Prajapati visited the Compressed Bio-gas Unit of Reliance Energy located in about 25 acres at Dakacha. The company officials informed that this unit will start production by October 2025. Napier grass, which is also commonly known as horse grass, rice husk and soybean husk and cow dung and agricultural waste will be used for the production of gas in this compressed bio-gas plant. By mixing these three substances in a certain proportion, gas is produced and the residue from this process is used as organic bio fertilizer, which is very useful for agriculture. This unit will relieve farmers from the problem of burning stubble, which will be environment friendly as well as help in the government’s goal of doubling the income of farmers. Reliance Energy has set a target of setting up 100 such units in the state. This initiative will help the country to become self-reliant in the energy sector and achieve the goal of carbon neutrality.
