Description

Sukhbir Agro Energy Limited (SAEL) has taken on the challenge to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in Ghazipur district, Uttar Pradesh, India. The project takes place in a 40 TPH Rice Mill and a 500 TPD Solvent Extraction Plant, and involves the installation of a new 70 TPH travelling grate boiler and a new 15 MW extraction cum condensing type steam turbine. This equipment generates electricity, along with all accessories and equipment needed to generate and export surplus power to the regional grid. Key Highlights: - Rice husk, a by-product of paddy processing, is used as fuel for combustion and generation of steam. - The project reduces GHG emissions by displacing the fossil fuel dominated grid-based electricity with biomass residues based renewable electricity. - The project is registered as a Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) project activity with the CDM EB, reference No. 2708. By utilizing rice husk as a renewable energy source, this project not only reduces greenhouse gas emissions but also provides a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels. The installation of the new equipment generates electricity and exports surplus power to the regional grid, promoting sustainable energy practices in the region. This project is an important step towards reducing carbon emissions and promoting sustainable practices in India.
