Solapur Bioenergy Systems begins generation and dispatch of CBG IOCL Gorakhpur CBG plant

The Gorakhpur CBG plant utilizes paddy straw, cow dung, and other agricultural residues to produce high-purity Compressed Biogas

  • By ICN Bureau | August 18, 2025

Solapur Bioenergy Systems Limited (SBESL), a subsidiary of Organic Recycling Systems Ltd. (ORSL), has successfully commenced the generation and dispatch of Compressed Biogas (CBG) from the Indian Oil Corporation Ltd. (IOCL) Compressed Biogas Plant located in Gorakhpur, Uttar Pradesh. This significant achievement reinforces India's green energy momentum and directly supports the Government of India's SATAT (Sustainable Alternative Towards Affordable Transportation) initiative.

The Gorakhpur facility marks a vital step in converting agricultural waste into a sustainable and commercially viable clean fuel, providing long-term environmental and socio-economic benefits to the region.

The Gorakhpur CBG plant utilizes paddy straw, cow dung, and other agricultural residues to produce high-purity Compressed Biogas. The plant plays a crucial role in mitigating stubble burning and open-air waste disposal.

At the core of this project is the proven expertise of ORSL, a pioneer in India's waste valorisation sector. With over a decade of successful operations across the country, ORSL brings a robust and replicable model to every project it undertakes. 

Speaking on the Commencement, Sarang Bhand, Promoter and MD, stated that: "The successful taking over of operation of the Gorakhpur CBG plant stands as a powerful testament to ORSL's deep-rooted expertise in delivering efficient, sustainable, and community-centric waste-toenergy solutions. This project reflects our unwavering commitment to transforming agricultural waste into clean, high-value energy while actively supporting rural livelihoods and driving environmental stewardship.

By combining cutting-edge technology with grassroots partnerships, we are not only reducing carbon emissions but also delivering far-reaching impact. This includes reducing fossil fuel imports, curbing stubble burning, improving air quality, and generating meaningful rural employment in biomass collection, logistics, and operations. It also strengthens the circular economy and promotes sustainable agricultural practices. Through initiatives like this, we are building a resilient, low-carbon energy ecosystem that benefits both the environment and the economy, while reinforcing India's path toward energy independence."
