MAIRE partnership to build biogas plant to Paradeep, India
The project is a partnership between Tecnimont (MAIRE’s Integrated E&C Solutions)'s Indian subsidiary Tecnimont Private Limited (TCMPL), Paradeep Municipality and National Institute of Technology, Karnataka – Surathkal (NITK).
The biogas plant will aim to enhance 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.
MAIRE said the project will create jobs for local people engaged in the waste collection activities and bring educational benefits.
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.
