CEID Consultants and Engineering, an EPC firm specializing in compressed biogas (CBG) manufacturing plants, unveiled plans to set up a 5,000 m³ CBG facility at Nalanda University’s campus. The plant will generate 200 kW of electricity per hour, contribute to campus sustainability, and potentially lower the carbon footprint.
The university is investing approximately ₹15 crore in the construction of the facility. CEID Consultants and Engineering will handle the design, supply, installation, testing, and commissioning of the biogas co-generation and bio-methanation plant.
As reported by pv-magazine-india.com, the CBG plant will produce electricity from regular food waste generated by the university’s hostel, which houses around 550 students, as well as other campus waste and additional feedstocks like municipal solid waste (MSW) and cow dung.
Abhinav Govil, DGM, Marketing, CEID Consultants and Engineering informed “We are happy to partner with Nalanda University to build a 5000 m³ CBG plant on their new campus in Rajgir, Bihar. By utilizing the campus’s food waste to generate 200 kW of electricity per hour, we are reinforcing our commitment to sustainability and advancing the Indian government’s vision of turning waste into valuable resources”.
