2 President Desk Biogas-Fertilizer-Waste-Treatment Plant (BFWTP)-a new name needs to be coined for biogas plants. It is because Biogas Technology solves three problems of bio-waste treatment, supplementing gaseous fuel availability and improving good quality organic fertilizer/ manure availability. So basically it has three outputs. Accordingly, it is required that financial resource available for these sectors be made available as input to make biogas-fertilizer sector sustainable of its own while making business sense for entrepreneurs. Unfortunately, it is seen and funded only as biogas generation plant and the other two components of waste treatment plant and organic fertilizer plant remains unsupported financially, thereby making this sector financially unsustainable. It is required that financial resources available for waste treatment, energy generation and organic fertilizer production pooled together to finance biogas-fertilizer sector. The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy, Ministry of Agriculture, Ministry of Food Processing Industry, Ministry of Environment and Forests, Ministry of Rural Development, Ministry of Urban Development and local bodies have to join hands under a co-ordination body, say, Secretary, Co-ordination, Cabinet Secretariat of government of India. 2. Technology-wise biogas is a well proven and established technology. Generally, feedslurry is made using biomass waste and water to have about 10% solid content. With this large volume of biomass material is to be handled. However, the biogas technology needs to be revisited in view of water shortage, space shortage and problem of handling, storage and transportation of large volume of digested slurry in liquid form. Taken together it becomes commercially less attractive. The technology of dry digestion for biogas plants with addition of little or no water to the feed-slurry. Some technologies are available, which needs to be evaluated and further worked upon to provide a technically sound and commercially viable Biogas-Fertilizer-Waste-Treatment Plant (BFWTP). 3. The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy has converted its 11th Plan Programme on Demonstration of Integrated Technology for Biogas Generation, Purification and Bottling to produce compressed biogas (CBG)/ Bio-CNG as a regular dissemination programme of the Ministry. The BIS Standard for Biogas Composition is in place. The Ministry of Transport has constituted a Committee for recognising CBG)/ Bio-CNG as a vehicular fuel. The current issue of the BigFIN News Letter is brought for you. Let us join hands to succeed in installing, servicing and running Biogas-Fertilizer-Waste-Treatment Plant (BFWTP) at all the locations where suitable biomass wastes are available in the country. Dr.Atma Ram Shukla President, Biogas Forum-India (BigFIN) 2

3 Letter from Editor It gives me immense pleasure to release the half-yearly newsletter of Biogas Forum India. The importance of biogas as a renewable source for generation of energy and power and more over as a measure for waste management is well established. However, the challenge remains to ensure the sector as viable and sustainable. Biogas Forum India is an endeavor to provide a much-needed platform for meeting entrepreneurs, field worker, students involving international universities and voicing constructively on critical issues of biogas sector to create a repository of knowledge. This issue has been designed to bring an all-rounded perspective and information on the biogas sector. One of the important sections that the magazine will cover is updates on national policy guidelines for promotion of biogas and technological developments for the sector. In this issue, the cover story brings you experiences from a team of Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi in the area of utilizing biogas as a vehicular fuel. The special story regarding new flexible type biogas plant installed by International Fund for Agricultural Development, Italy focused on role of biogas technology in reducing drudgery of women in the kitchen and promoting biogas as a locally available appropriate means of energy supply which can lead women to better living conditions. The Events section reports on conferences are meetings to be held and important links of proceedings from the conferences held on world level to address the issue of biogas production and up gradation. I would like to convey to my readers that the aim of this newsletter is not only to provide you information about the advances in biogas sector but also an invitation to get engage pro-actively with you. We invite suggestions for further enhancement of the quality and standard of this newsletter in any area that has scope for improvement.

Green Power Systems handles one tons of waste a day, to produce biogas that is equivalent to four cylinders of LPG. The company is funded by i2india Ventures and has clients such as school lunch delivery organization Akshaya Patra& Infosys. Its systems are installed in 10 processing units across the country. It aims to cross the $1 million mark while keeping the team size below 15. (Courtesy: The Economic Times July 18, 2014) 5

6 Government to change laws to permit cars to run on different fuels: Nitin Gadkari Government will make necessary changes in law and bring it on par with international standards to enable cars, especially those running on bio-fuels, to ply on Indian roads, Road Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari said. He said the government will try to introduce the changes in the next session of Parliament. "There is a requirement to make changes in the law and bring it on par with international standards, which can enable us to permit cars that run on different fuels, especially bio-fuel." "We will try to introduce the changes in the next session of Parliament. The government has already announced to make necessary changes in law for e-rickshaws that will give employment to over 2 lakh people," Gadkari said. He was addressing delegates at a seminar organized by BJP's Non-Conventional Energy Cell at the party headquarters. Gadkari said suggestions would be sought from delegates before taking a policy decision is taken over the issue. He said the Ministry would also study automobile laws in the United States, Canada, Brazil and Germany before making any change.

With this, AMC expects to generate Rs 27.5 Million per annum, for 18 months. Up till now, the gas generated at the sewage treatment plant was burnt and was being wasted. This month, AMC invited tenders from companies for sale of the gas generated and the contract has been given at the rate of Rs 9.18 per cubic metre. AMC has also provided 4,000 sq m of land to set up the plant and leased it for 15 years. Suresh Patel, chairman of water supply and sewerage committee of AMC, said, "The Company is already engaged in a similar biogas project in Jaipur and we will become the second corporation in the country to do this."

7 Poultry droppings can generate enough gas to run a farm At 5.30 pm every day, a conveyor belt takes away 100tonnes of droppings from beneath the 1 million cackling hens at India's largest egg-laying farm at Karlam village, an overnight bus journey away from Visakhapatnam. Two hours later, the droppings from the five swanky sheds are fed into a biogas plant nearby. The litter will generate enough gas to produce the 1 MW of power every day needed for the fully automated temperature-controlled hen houses, besides running the tray and cartonmaking factories. At this unit of Radha Sakku Agro Farms, droppings have literally raised the cool quotient. It wasn't always so. Poultry is a smelly business. "Droppings are a headache," says Siddharth Venkat Ram, director at Radha Sakku. Each chicken produces around 100 gm of slushy dropping daily. The masses of droppings attract buzzing flies that spread disease in nearby villages, often forcing the district administration to intervene. Poultry farmers usually rake the droppings into a heap and let them dry in the sun or compost it. There are few takers for the manure.

"We have been running ethanol-driven buses in Stockholm... we have plans to showcase this technology to Indian market by April this year," Scania Commercial Vehicles India Director (Presales and Marketing) Krister Thulin said at the 12th Auto Expo here. The company is in talks with government for promoting commercial sale of such buses and arrangement of ethanol- blended fuel for these, Anders Grundstromer, Managing Director, Scania India and Senior Vice President Scania Group said. He said usage of such fuel will help in protecting environment and promote green technology. Currently in India, oil marketing companies are using at least 5 per cent ethanol blending in fuel. He further said the company is also in talks with an oil marketing company for supply of 95 per cent ethanol blended fuel to run green buses. 7

8 Eco-friendly fuel can be generated from waste and agri products which are more sustainable than conventional energy sources and less polluting, Thulin said. Scania India, which is selling premium mining trucks in collaboration with Larsen & Toubro and city-bus, has a manufacturing plant in Bangalore.

Kalkeri Sangeet Vidyalaya (KSV) was granted $100,000 at the 2014 Zayed Future Energy Prize award ceremony for its student-led project to become self-sustainable using energy efficiency, solar technology and bio-gas energy. The school has partnered with SELCO India, the 2014 Small and Medium Enterprises finalist, that uses renewable energy for alleviating poverty, to build a solar powered 'green amphitheater' as a means to enhance its music and dance-focused curriculum. SELCO will also install a solar powered mini-grid to power the school's classrooms and hostel facilities. KSV has commissioned SELCO to undertake an energy audit prior to the solar installations, with a second energy audit planned post-installation to compare savings. 8

9 Low cost flexi biogas plants Articles International Fund for Agricultural Development, Italy along with Biogas Development and Training Center, Indian Institute of Technology Delhi worked on field studies of the new flexible biogas model. Biogas Development and Training Center, Indian Institute of Technology Delhi provided technical consultancy and facilitated three such biogas system to Mr. Dominic Wanjania from Kenya who has developed this kind of system. IFAD had supported Mr. Dominic to install these plants in their project in 2 biogas plants at tribal farmer s families in Raigada District, Odisha and IIT-Delhi to evaluate their performance. The project was undertaken to evaluate the performance of flexi biogas system in field and give feedback on its technical and social aspects. Tribal Village in Odissa, India Cow shed in beneficiary house Biogas can play a vital role in reducing drudgery of women in rural areas. Generally they spent 3 4 hours daily for collection of fuel wood for biomass cook stoves. Biogas is a mixture of gases which is produced by digestion of organic wastes under an anaerobic environment. In rural areas animal manure is used in biogas plants for biogas generation. Promoting biogas as a locally available appropriate means of energy supply can lead to better living conditions. Biogas provides double benefits to rural areas, one it provides clean cooking fuel and second better bio-fertilizer for agriculture. 9

10 Awareness program was conducted among the ladies of villages and the beneficiaries The most common type of biogas system and the most widely adopted in India, is a floating drum type biogas system and fixed dome type Deenbandhu biogas system. Another type of biogas plant is flexi biogas plant. This is a flexible above-ground system which is simpler and low cost. This system is simply a 6m x 3m plastic bag made of PVC tarpaulin and is modular in nature. The Flexi Biogas system is portable and expandable. In design it is similar to an openended pillow case; it consists of a plastic digester bag housed in a greenhouse tunnel. The tunnel acts like an insulated jacket, trapping heat and keeping the temperature between25 and 36 degrees Celsius so as anaerobic digestion can be facilitated by mesophilic microbes. Flexi models of biogas plant developed by Mr. Dominic Wanjania of Kenya were setup at two tribal families in Raigarha district of Odisha, India and one at the residence of Professor in IIT Delhi campus during July The materials of these two biogas plant, accessories and green house canopy were procured locally from Delhi. Biogas plants were fabricated by Mr. Dominic Wanjania as per his design having around 2 m3 digester volume and 1 m3 gas volume. The field plants were operated on cow dung while IIT Delhi plant was operated on food waste and Jatropha de-oiled cake. Gas production in these biogas plants varied from 0.4 cum to 1.0 cum per day. Beneficiaries were given small training to operate and maintain the plant effectively. 10

11 Flexi Biogas plants installed at two of the beneficiaries in Village in Odisha Slurry from the biogas plant is being used as manure In the tribal villages people those having cattle s are interested to have the flexi biogas plant in order to save time & forest. The plant contributes to enhancement of vegetable & crops production and additional income. Also the investment to set up such plant is around INR 6,000-9,000 (US$ ). The villagers are taking keen interest regarding benefits of biogas plant along with utilization of biogas and bio-fertilizer. Earlier women of tribal families spend much of their time in collecting fire wood in the absence of easily accessible and affordable fuel. Biogas plant provided tribal families a locally available appropriate means of energy generation which helped to promote better living condition's apart from providing organic manure and most importantly helped in mitigating drudgery of these women while reducing pressure on forests. Women cooking food on stove running with Biogas Among the major challenges faced during this project was that only a trained person can install such type of plants. The beneficiaries should also be trained if it gets puncture and its repair and maintenance. Operation of biogas plant to gain benefits needs certain labour on day to day basis and time, which families are serving. During the project an understanding was developed that Biogas should be an important part of self-reliant energy supply system in rural 11

12 areas. Usually, majority of household in villages have animals and their manure can be used for biogas production however government should provide % support to install biogas plants and fuel and fertilizer. The plant owner should give at least 20 % contribution to generate personal interest in it. The flexi biogas system was recommended by BDTC, IIT Delhi to small and poor families as it provides an economical and quick way to install biogas plant. Such type of plants are proposed to install at places where there is no skilled person are available for construction of biogas plant and in tough mountain terrains where construction of underground biogas plant is not feasible. These plants apart from producing biogas which can be used for cooking, produces organic manure which when applied in the field, improves agricultural productivity. 12

13 Biogas: A Green Vehicular fuel Enhanced energy security and climate change mitigation are the main drivers for the transformation of the energy system from fossil to renewable sources. Biomass has to play a key role in this transformation to a low carbon economy. Worldwide, biomass accounts for more than two thirds of all renewable energy supplies. Among biomass sources, biogas is an interesting option with a large potential, offering many exciting possibilities to supplant and therefore reduce our dependence on fossil fuels. An estimate indicates that India has a potential of generating 6.38 x 1010 m 3 of biogas from 980 million tons of cattle dung produced annually. The heat value of this gas amounts to 1.3 x 1012 MJ. In addition, 350 million tons of compost would also be produced. Rapid industrialization and population increase has resulted in the generation of huge quantity of wastes, both solid and liquid, in industrial sectors such as sugar, pulp and paper, food processing, sugar/starch, distilleries, dairies, tanneries, slaughterhouses, poultry farms etc, Hence, there is a huge potential for the installation of medium to large-size biogas plants in the country depending upon the availability of the feedstock. There is a huge potential for the installation of medium large scale biogas plants in the country. Upgraded and bottled biogas is a renewable energy source which can help both in waste management and in building a clean and sustainable environment. This technology is an economically viable option for biogas produced at medium to large scales. A 20 m 3 floating drum type bio-digester at IIT Delhi campus Biogas enrichment laboratory 13

14 Based on the various sources and references the biogas production potential can be translated to an aggregated estimated capacity of approximately 48,383 million m3 of biogas generation annually. It was estimated that the contribution of upgraded biogas in the transportation and cooking sector as a percentage of total petroleum fuels consumption for the year is approximately 86.8 % and 83.4% respectively supported by the Indian Petroleum and Natural Gas Statistics Biogas typically consists of methane (50-70 %), carbon dioxide (30-45 %), traces of water vapor and hydrogen sulfide (H2S). The composition varies according to the feed material used. Biogas has a heating value of MJ. The presence of methane renders it combustible while carbon dioxide, besides being noncombustible, restrains its compressibility there by making it difficult to be stored in containers. Raw biogas has to be upgraded to natural gas quality in order to be used in vehicles that are designed to use natural gas which means carbon dioxide (CO2), hydrogen sulphide (H2S), ammonia, particles and water (and sometimes other trace compounds) have to be removed so that the product gas for vehicle use has a methane content of about 95-98% by volume. This upgraded gas is generally referred to as Biomethane. This upgraded gas or Biomethane is bottled at discharge pressure of 200 bar. This is termed as Compressed Biogas (CBG). Further using a CNG dispensing cable and a nozzle to NZS standards this CBG can be used for filling the gas into the vehicles. Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi has developed a small scale water scrubbing technology The water-scrubbing-based biogas upgradation and compression/bottling system was designed and developed at Indian Institute of Technology Delhi, India, for enhancing the utility of biogas application that is, in vehicles and cooking applications. The system consists water scrubbing column and methane-enriched biogas compression system. The commercial viability of Biogas Purification and Bottling plant is positive and like any other commercially viable industry. Typical capacity of a commercial viable Biogas Purification & Bottling Plant is 1000 NM3/Day. Waste required for above capacity is around 20 Tons/Day of Cattle Dung or 10 Tons/Day of Pig, Poultry or Food Waste. This plant produces approximately 400 Kg/Day CNG & 6 Tons/Day of Semi Dried Manure and includes an Anaerobic Digester, Biogas Purification Plant, High Pressure Compressor and CNG Cylinder Storage Cascade. Initial cost of the complete plant is ~ Rs. 25 million excluding the cost of land. Compressed Biogas (CBG) can be used as a replacement of commercial LPG or Vehicular Fuel with typical selling cost of Rs. 70/Kg. General selling cost of manure is Rs. 3-4/Kg. Plant have a very good economics with a payback period of 4-5 Years. In a recent study at European Union it showed that of over 70 different automotive fuels and fuel paths, biogas is by far the most environment friendly and yielding considerably 14

15 more than any other biofuels including second generation fuels. The Indian Government too following the west, and going to take a step further towards realizing the vision of using Compressed Biogas as a fuel for its rapidly growing car fleet. Filling of biomethane in the car Three wheeler which runs on the enriched Biogas At Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi regular CNG car has been run more than 20,000 kilometers and tested for Compressed Biogas as its fuel. It was noted that existing CNG vehicles need not to undergo any modifications to be compatible to Biogas as a fuel. The fuel economy and mass emission of the vehicle fuelled with the Compressed Biogas (CBG) with 93% CH4 and Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) with 89.14% CH4 were evaluated. The emissions such as CO, HC and NOx are found to be marginally higher with the CBG than CNG. But vehicle s emission with CBG meets to the BS IV Emission Norms. There is no significant change in millage of the vehicle fuelled with the CBG (24.11 km/kg) as compared to CNG (24.38 km/kg). Biogas is a potential renewable energy and carbon neutral source for Rural as well as for Urban India. Taking biogas generation as a base activity and compressing it for decentralized power production, cooking needs at highway motels, industrial complex, dairy, food processing units can be taken up, which will not only help us towards reducing unemployment and alleviating economy it will also help us mitigate climate change by reducing waste. Comparative Evaluation of Performance and Mass Emissions Of An Automotive Passenger Vehicle With Enriched Biogas Using Field Trial Tests Within the definite duration, several field trials of vehicle which uses enrich biogas as a fuel, has been done on different different road condition upto 20,000km. Periodically the exhaust 15

16 emissions of vehicle were analyzed using emission analyzer at different time interval to check the CO, HC, NOX and CO2 in the exhaust. Mass emissions of vehicle fuelled with enriched biogas was evaluated using Chassis - Dynamometer test at ICAT Manesar, for both pre field trial (0 km) and post field trial ( after 20,000 km mileage build up) according to CMVR procedure on Modified Indian Driving Cycle. All the emissions were found to be under BS 4 norms. The deposit rating long with the wear and tear of the engine components viz. Cylinder liners, Valve Heads, Spark Plug and Camshaft were done at pre (5000) and post field trails (25000), which was found to be a nominal range. To become a sustainable fuel, the fuel must be economically suitable and so the fuel economy of this vehicle was calculated based on vehicles odometer reading during field trials and by carbon balance method using results of mass emission (24.11 km/kg). A govt. authorized agency has also approved the use of CNG cylinder (during the field trail) for the use of enriched biogas cylinder, fitted in the vehicle. A Research paper entitled Comparative evaluation of emission and fuel economy of an automotive spark ignition vehicle fuelled with methane enriched biogas and CNG using chassis dynamometer has been published based on the results in the International Journal of Applied Energy (Volume 105, May 2013, Pages 17 29). 16
