en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Ankleshwar Bio CNG plant, jointly launched by Alchemy Cleantech and Paragon Biofuels, has officially commenced operations. The facility is designed to process 43,800 tonnes of organic waste annually, converting it into 2,373 tonnes of compressed biogas (CBG), which directly replaces traditional compressed natural gas (CNG).
This plant was established through a strategic partnership between the two companies, specifically aimed at advancing sustainable waste-to-energy infrastructure in India. Once operational, the project will prevent 17,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions annually, equivalent to the carbon absorption capacity of 6,272.6 hectares of forest or the carbon emissions from 7.95 million litres of gasoline. Additionally, the process will generate 7,300 tonnes of solid fermented organic manure (FOM) and 27,375 cubic metres of liquid FOM each year, providing nutrient-rich biofertilizers to support sustainable agriculture and achieve waste recycling.
In terms of employment, the facility will create approximately 50 direct jobs and support around 150 indirect livelihoods through waste collection, logistics, and related supplier networks. Sushant Arora, founder of Alchemy Cleantech, stated that the company believes the future of energy lies in regeneration rather than extraction, and views this plant as proof that waste is a resource waiting to be unlocked. Susmit Gupta, Managing Director of Paragon Biofuels, noted that the company has committed 5 billion Indian rupees to scale up the industry, adding that this project demonstrates how capital, technology, and policy can work together to build sustainable infrastructure.
The commissioning of the Ankleshwar Bio CNG plant lays the foundation for the two companies to deploy replicable waste-to-energy infrastructure across industrial and urban centres in India. As new facilities are built, the partnership plans to establish a nationwide circular energy ecosystem, transforming organic waste into a strategic national resource.
