Thermax bags Rs.500 crore worth order to setup 5 bio CNG Plants

One of the subsidiaries of Thermax has secured orders worth more than Rs. 500 crore from a leading energy conglomerate for setting up five bio- CNG plants across India. With the capacity to produce 110 tonnes per day of bio CNG, these plants will utilise local feedstock exceeding 1000TPD, which includes rice straw, Napier grass, cane trash, and soya trash.

The bio CNG generated from these plants is proposed to be introduced at commercial sectors which ultimately be converted to used by normal people. It is considered to be the broader initiative which provide solutions around biochemicals and bioenergy. Normally, these plants are touted to be setup in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, and Uttar Pradesh.
