Impact and Sustainability of solution
IMPACT
Availability of Renewable Energy
Greener spaces with fertile soil
Cleaner Air
Lesser burden on fossil fuels
SUSTAINABILITY
Daily waste production ensures daily
gas generation
Renewable Energy is sustainable
FEASIBILITY
System very affordable
Can be disassemble
Easy to install
SCALABILITY
Small scale plant for one house
Domestic scale plant for one building
Large scale plant for complexes
All these plants can be connected to
one gas charging station

 Annexure

Compression Water Gas from Byproducts of

Stages Dry Waste Scrubbing
Through compression Water gas can be NaHCO3 which is a
and scrubbing high obtained by byproduct of scrubber
quality gas equivalent processing dry can be used for algae
to CNG can be waste(dry leaves, cultivation through
obtained from Biogas sawdust, grass) into which we can get
charcoal biodiesel
Charcoal undergoes
WGSR to get Water
gas
