ONGC to set up 10 compressed bio-gas plants with EverEnviro

ONGC & EverEnviro have partnered to establish 10 compressed biogas plants in India, aiming to reduce reliance on imported gas and boost domestic renewable energy production.

Maharatna, ONGC, and EverEnviro Resource Management Pvt Ltd, a leading developer of compressed biogas (RNG) in India have formed a joint venture (JV) to set up 10 compressed biogas (CBG) plants across India. The two firms have inked a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for the same.  These plants, being set up in the first phase, are expected to reduce India’s reliance on imported gas and boost domestic renewable energy production.

The 50:50 JV between ONGC and EverEnviro aligns with the Government of India’s initiatives, including the Global Bio-Fuels Alliance and the ambitious goal of achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2070. By harnessing diverse feedstocks such as agri waste, agro-industrial waste, energy crops, and municipal solid waste (MSW), the partnership aims to mitigate approximately 7.5 lakh tons of Co2 equivalent annually.

Deepak Agarwal, Executive Director, BD & Strategy, EverEnviro, said, “Our collaboration with ONGC represents a significant milestone in our journey toward advancing renewable energy production in India. These projects will give a fillip to key government initiatives such as GOBARdhan scheme, Waste to Wealth, Make in India, Circular Economy and Atmanirbhar Bharat. We are confident that our partnership will make a substantial impact in the CBG sector. The fermented organic manure produced as byproduct of CBG will promote regenerative agriculture, enhancing soil health and fertility in the catchment areas.”

EverEnviro aims to establish over 100 CBG plants across India based on diverse feedstock, including municipal solid waste (MSW), agro waste, and agro-industrial waste. The organisation is already executing 20+ CBG projects across Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Delhi, and Punjab with a significant capital investment of nearly ₹2,000 crores which will result in a robust output of 320 mt per day of CBG.
