Tecnimont to build waste-to-biogas plant to fuel local kitchens in India
Tecnimont (MAIRE’s Integrated E&C Solutions) announced that its Indian subsidiary Tecnimont Private Limited (TCMPL) has teamed up with Paradeep Municipality and National Institute of Technology, Karnataka – Surathkal (NITK) to develop a biogas plant from waste at Paradeep Municipality, District Jagatsinghpur, Odisha, as part of the Corporate Social Responsibility initiatives that TCMPL is carrying out in India.
The biogas plant enhances the deployment of circular solutions to efficiently manage organic waste. In particular, this initiative will help Paradeep Municipality to generate biogas by converting food and vegetable waste through anaerobic digestion; the biogas obtained from the recycling of organic waste will be then used by community kitchens.
This project will create jobs for local people engaged in the waste collection activities and bring educational benefits, serving as a model for innovative solutions and actively engaging university students in practical learning experiences. A first pilot plant, in fact, was inaugurated in 2021 at NITK campus, promoting research and improving energy self-sufficiency within the campus. The generated energy is obtained by converting food and vegetable waste from the hostel blocks and canteens.
