Off grid RE Solutions for Energy Access

The cattle dung has enormous organic content & can be easily converted into biogas through the biomethanation process. This biogas can be used for power generation as well as for thermal application with by product of organic manure. To overcome the problem of frequent load shedding in rural areas & to get the continuous & cheaper energy access i.e. mainly for irrigation purpose, Shri. Surendra Sadashiv Girme, Village- Nangaon, Tal. Daund, Dist. Pune has installed KVIC water jacket type biogas plant. The generated power from biogas is utilised for lighting in animal shed, for irrigation & operating chaff cutter.
