Converting Waste to Biogas ON-SITE
D
uring the COP26 Summit on Climate Change, Prime Minister Modi committed India to achieving net-zero emissions by the year 2070. With the shorter-term objective of tripling the use of renewable energy and slashing India’s carbon emissions by a substantial amount by 2030 HomeBiogas has collaborated with a number of Indian companies to promote this objective through CSR projects in rural India, incorporating Biogas systems in order to advance the issues of women’s empowerment, sanitation in rural communities, economic development as well as environmental sustainability.
We develop biogas systems that enables individuals and businesses to convert their organic waste into clean energy for cooking or heating, on-site. It is a publicly traded Israeli company (TASE: HMGS) that develops, manufactures, distributes, and sells domestic and industrial-scale biogas systems that provide a comprehensive solution for waste management renewable energy generation, clean cooking, fertiliser production, and sanitation. Biogas systems addresses the following challenges - Reduce methane emissions to combat climate change. Our systems have prevened
86,000 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions to date. According to the recently published IPCC report, methane gas has more than eighty times the warming potential of carbon dioxide in the near future. Each unit reduces carbon emissions by 1,500 to 2,000 tonnes annually, which is currently valued between $5,000 and $10,000. - Reduce Waste: To date, our systems have kept 15,000 tons of food waste in circulation. - Renewable Energy: Our systems use anaerobic digestion to convert these organic materials into fuel for cooking
