Energy tech startup Astute Synergies’ Membrane technology to cut methane loss in CBG production process.
NEW DELHI, May 30 (The CONNECT) – Energy tech startup Astute Synergies plans to disrupt the biogas industry by tackling the critical challenge of high CBG (Compressed Bio Gas) plant installation costs.
Utkarsh Gupta, Founder & CEO of Astute Synergies, said, the company is focused on the manufacturing of cost-effective biogas upgradation systems, targeting to achieve a 40% reduction in the costs, leading to overall savings in the installation of these plants.
According to the Petroleum Planning and Analysis Cell, India’s gas production is 29,769 million metric standard cubic metres (mmscm), while consumption is 55,256 mmscm, resulting in a shortfall of 25,488 mmscm, or 46.12% of total consumption, which is currently met through imports. CBG can help bridge this gap, but high installation costs and methane loss during production are major challenges.
Astute Synergies’ innovative approach aligns promises to contribute significantly to a greener India by making clean energy more accessible and affordable. The cutting-edge membrane-technology upgradation system, valued at approximately ₹600 crore, will significantly contribute to India’s clean energy future.
“Our cutting edge technology will minimize methane loss during purification, and reduce this loss from over 10% to a mere 2-3%,” he said and explained It will significantly bring down the overall cost leading to sustainability.
A recent report by the International Energy Agency emphasizes the urgent need for cost-effective renewable energy solutions to combat climate change and promote sustainability.
Astute Synergies is dedicated to driving down costs and enhancing the efficiency of biogas production, thereby contributing to India’s renewable energy landscape and supporting the nation’s commitment to a sustainable and greener future.
Astute Synergies says it is a leading innovator in the energy-tech sector, dedicated to transforming the biogas industry through advanced membrane technology. We recognize the critical challenge of high Compressed Biogas (CBG) plant installation costs, a significant barrier to widespread adoption of this clean energy solution.
