Data from the Sustainable Alternative Towards Affordable Transportation (SATAT) portal shows that over 30 percent of plants, with a capacity of up to 3.5 TPD, out of approximately 500 plants are in the 'Yet to Start Construction' phase, highlighting the need for tailored support.
The initiative aims to empower grassroots entrepreneurs by making high-quality design and engineering for CBG plants accessible and affordable, addressing a key gap in the sector where smaller projects often face prohibitively high costs for these solutions.
Kushagra Nandan, Chairman and Managing Director of RED, said, "With this initiative, we are bringing global engineering excellence to the grassroots level — making it possible for smaller entrepreneurs to drive India's green energy revolution. This is a step towards democratising CBG plants to meet the Hon'ble Prime Minister’s vision of a sustainable, self-reliant, and energy-secure India."
RED’s comprehensive engineering solutions will cover the entire engineering scope, including basic design philosophy, critical equipment list, mass and heat balance, mechanical and piping layouts, civil engineering for digesters, and electrical and instrumentation design. All the services offered shall comply with global quality standards like ASME, ANSI, API, and IS Codes. While standardisation will be maintained to ensure speed and affordability, the initiative will allow for location-specific customisation that addresses plot dimensions, climate conditions, local construction norms and integration with existing infrastructure.
Varun Karad, CEO of RED, added, “Our goal is simple — to make professional engineering accessible and affordable to every aspiring CBG developer. By offering end-to-end services under one roof at an affordable price point, we aim to accelerate the set-up of small CBG plants, create local economic opportunities, and strengthen India’s bio-economy.”
RED is actively contributing to India's ambitious goal of establishing 5,000 CBG plants by 2030 under the SATAT initiative. The initiative is expected to especially benefit rural and semi-urban areas by enabling entrepreneurs to set up decentralised biogas plants, utilising local feedstock and serving local energy needs, even in regions where access to large off-take infrastructure is limited.
