VSIL has set up Bio-Methanation plants to generate 30000 m3 biogas per day from Starch Processing waste water which is further used to fuel Biogas Gensets to generate upto 2 MW of Renewable power. This has led to reduction in Methane emissions to the atmosphere by capturing the Methane in Bio-digesters and the captured Methane is utilized for thermal applications and Power generation replacing HSD and Furnace oil and its associated Green House Gas emissions.
