India has become one of the fastest-growing economies in the world. The fast-paced growth of the economy which is the 3rd largest in terms of GDP has resulted in a surging demand for energy. The ever increasing demand for energy is projected to grow at a rate of 3% over the next two decades. The increase in demand for energy to cater to a large population; we are inclined to develop and harness environmentally friendly clean and ‘green’ energy resources in-line with the global trend.
Navrattan Holdings Limited has become the first company to introduce Navrattan Thermo Chemical Gasification Technology in India. The revolutionary technology is capable of converting any carbon-containing feedstock such as biomass, coke, sewage, agricultural, animal, medical, and municipal solid waste into ‘Green’ electricity, natural gas, and biofuel. The gas thus produced is called the ‘Syngas’. SYNGAS is a shortened name for Synthetic Gas that commonly deals with the blend of hydrogen and carbon monoxide. It is a clean, dry, flexible fuel.
One of the many advantages of the use of Synthetic Gas to produce clean fuel is that it can be produced from waste materials which would otherwise, need to be discarded. Instead of placing waste products in landfills or the oceans, this waste can be used to generate useful and eco-friendly fuel. This makes the Thermo Chemical Gasification process both an efficient means of producing energy and an environmentally friendly option for the recycling of waste products.
Virtually any carbon-based material can be gasified to produce syngas. The carbon that is stored in the plant material is released as carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide allowing for nearly all the carbon in the biomass to be converted to syngas.
Some of the major benefits of Syngas produced through Thermo Chemical Gasification is:
According to the World Business Council for Sustainable Development, cement manufacturing is alone responsible for 5% of global CO2 emissions.
