Biogas Plant at Xavier School of Management (XLRI), Sakchi

Budget : 3 Lakhs

Innovation Type (Process/ Product): Process

About the Project:

Xavier’s Labour Research Institute (XLRI) is the oldest management institute in the country. Under the campus sustainability initiative, XLRI converts about 400 kg of food waste to energy as part of its programme to reduce carbon emissions. The food waste from the college’s five cafeterias goes into a giant biogas digester that generates gas equivalent to two LPG cylinders per day, or about a fifth of the kitchen fuel needed to feed 1,100 students on campus. In similar manner the biogas plants have been set up at - Chemmury Guesthouse in Northern Town, three graduate trainees' hostels in Kadma, residential flats near Kadma police station, Tata Football Academy in Bistupur and Tata Main Hospital. Three more are on the anvil at Tayo Rolls, JRD Tata Sports Complex and the centralised kitchen for midday meals at Ramdas Bhatta community centre.
