With the growing need for sustainable and cost-efficient energy sources, industries are shifting toward renewable solutions that reduce both environmental and operational burdens. One such innovation leading this transformation is the commercial biogas plant — a system designed to convert organic waste into clean, renewable energy.
At Koshish India, we are committed to building a greener future by providing advanced biogas solutions that help industries and institutions manage waste responsibly while generating energy for daily operations.
Introduction to Commercial Biogas Plants
A commercial biogas plant is a large-scale facility that utilizes organic waste materials such as food leftovers, agricultural residue, animal manure, and industrial organic waste to produce biogas through anaerobic digestion.
In this oxygen-free process, natural bacteria break down organic matter, releasing a mixture of methane (CH₄) and carbon dioxide (CO₂) — commonly known as biogas. The energy-rich methane component can be used for electricity generation, heating, and even as vehicle fuel after purification into bio-CNG.
The remaining by-product, called digestate, is a natural fertilizer that improves soil health and reduces dependence on chemical alternatives.
How a Commercial Biogas Plant Works
The process of biogas generation involves multiple scientific and mechanical steps, all managed within a closed and safe system:
Waste Collection: Organic waste from industrial, agricultural, or institutional sources is collected and prepared for processing.
Feeding the Digester: The waste is mixed with water and fed into an airtight digester tank.
Anaerobic Digestion: Microorganisms decompose the waste, producing biogas over a controlled period.
Gas Storage and Treatment: The biogas is collected, purified, and stored for utilization.
Energy Utilization: The gas is used for electricity generation,
