The completion of the biofuel plant for Reliance Industries is an embodiment of ANDRITZ’s efforts towards sustainable and efficient biofuel production. It plays a significant role in strengthening the biofuel capabilities of Reliance Industries, contributing to enhanced productivity and supporting their commitment to environmental sustainability.
The plant processes a diverse array of raw materials, such as juliflora, garden waste, groundnut shell husk, cotton stalk, hard wood chips, agricultural waste chips from spices like cumin and coriander, soy, mustard and rice husk, and bagasse. Utilizing this wide range of feedstock, the plant exemplifies a versatile production capability while promoting sustainability. The repurposing of agricultural by-products and waste, which would otherwise contribute to environmental issues, plays a crucial part in this eco-friendly initiative. Converting these materials into biofuel decreases the dependence on fossil fuels and supports the utilization of renewable energy sources in harmony with India's sustainability energy targets.
Through collaboration with ANDRITZ, Reliance Industries has been able to integrate more efficient and effective solutions into their operations. “This project is an example of how strategic partnerships can lead to improvements in operational efficiency, benefiting not only the involved parties but also pioneering advancements in renewable energy technology,” says Pavan Pawar, General Manager - Sales, at ANDRITZ.
