Organic Recycling Systems Limited (ORSL) has announced a major leap in India’s clean energy sector with the operational launch of its latest unit for the generation and dispatch of compressed biogas (CBG). The development marks a significant shift in sustainable energy, resource recovery, and rural empowerment within the waste-to-energy space.
Key Highlights
ORSL's new facility has commenced both the generation and supply of compressed biogas, delivering a green fuel alternative and supporting India's energy security.
The plant processes agricultural and organic waste—including paddy straw, press mud, and cattle dung—into renewable fuel and organic manure.
The initiative is aligned with India’s SATAT (Sustainable Alternative Towards Affordable Transportation) mission and directly addresses waste management, air quality, and rural employment concerns.
Unit Operations and Sustainable Technology
The operational unit is equipped to handle large quantities of agricultural waste, transforming it into compressed biogas (CBG) suitable for use as a clean transport and industrial fuel.
ORSL’s bioenergy systems not only reduce greenhouse gas emissions but also generate high-quality organic fertilizer, benefiting soil health and local farmers.
The plant’s integrated operations ensure uninterrupted fuel production, safety compliance, and a skilled workforce maintaining world-class standards.
Societal and Environmental Impact
With a capacity to process up to 200 tonnes of biomass daily, the facility reduces the need for burning crop residue, curbing harmful emissions that impact urban and rural air quality.
The creation of organic manure from residual products closes the nutrient cycle, returning value to the soil and supporting sustainable farming practices.
Local economies stand to benefit from job creation, new business opportunities in the waste collection sector, and stable income streams for farmers supplying agricultural waste feedstock.
The project is vital in supporting government efforts to reduce India's dependence on imported fossil fuels.
Strategic Partnerships and National Policy Alignment
The new unit’s success is built on strong partnership models with public sector entities such as Indian Oil Corporation Ltd (IOCL), which recently awarded ORSL’s subsidiary a major operations and maintenance contract for a CBG plant in Gorakhpur.
The initiative supports the government’s phased rollout of the Compressed Biogas Blending Obligation, gradually mandating the inclusion of green CBG in transport and piped gas networks, ensuring long-term market demand for plants like those operated by ORSL.
Looking Ahead: Towards a Circular Bioeconomy
With the generation and dispatch of CBG now underway, ORSL is positioned to expand its business, replicate success in other regions, and contribute to the establishment of hundreds of biogas plants across India.
Central and state policies—such as the Swachh Bharat Mission, GOBARdhan, and waste-to-wealth incentives—are accelerating the sector's growth, supporting not just waste conversion but also rural prosperity and carbon emission reduction.
Conclusion
The launch of ORSL’s new compressed biogas unit is more than a technical achievement; it represents a cornerstone in India's green energy and circular economy journey. By transforming waste into clean fuel and valuable organic matter, Organic Recycling Systems is helping lead the way toward sustainable energy, farmer welfare, and a cleaner environment for all.
