By converting waste into compressed biogas (CBG), the Varanasi Smart City Bioconversion Project has already achieved significant environmental impacts, avoiding 2,806 tonnes of CO2 equivalent emissions during the initial monitoring period.
Eki Energy Service (EKI) said on Wednesday that it was selected as a carbon consultant for the Varanasi Smart City Bio Conversion Project, an initiative aimed at methane reduction and sustainable development.
Located in Shahanshahpur, Varanasi, the project uses cutting-edge anaerobic digestion techniques to convert approximately 70 tons of animal fertilizer and organic ingredients per day into clean energy and organic fertilizers.
By converting waste into compressed biogas (CBG), the initiative has already achieved significant environmental impacts, avoiding 2,806 tonnes of CO2 equivalent emissions during the initial monitoring period.
“This project is in line with our commitment to driving innovative climate solutions that promote both environmental and social economic impacts,” said Manish Dabkara, Chairman and Managing Director, Eki Energy Services.
The project is part of the government of India’s sustainable alternative to the Affordable Transport (SATAT) initiative, which will showcase successful collaborations between the Adani Group, Gobardhan Varanasi Foundation SPV and local governments. If Eki Energy Services provides support to realize profits from the carbon market.
It has a lifespan of 25 years, and the Varanasi Smart City Bioconversion Project serves as a model for innovative waste to energy solutions, highlighting the important needs of integrating sustainability into urban planning and development.
The project is expected to reduce CO2 equivalent emissions of 33,187 tons over a seven-year credit period. It also produces 2,500-2,800 kg/day of compressed biogas with by-products, fermented organic fertilizer (FOM), and liquid organic fertilizer (LFOM), supporting sustainable agricultural practices.
