The 12-hectare site combines sorting, fermentation, gas upgrading and composting in one integrated facility.
The Nagpur facility sorts 1,200 tonnes of waste daily. Organics are turned into biomethane and compost in fermentation tunnels.
Thirty sealed fermentation tunnels process the organic waste in batches, producing biogas around the clock.
Biogas is upgraded to 99% pure methane and compressed as CBG. The captured CO2 is reused, for example in concrete.
Explore the complete process: from receiving municipal solid waste and recovering the organic fraction to producing renewable gas and see how phased commissioning enables gas production while remaining sections are being completed.
The Bhandewadi facility operates under a long-term concession framework with Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC). It is designed to process up to 1,200 tonnes of mixed municipal solid waste daily, integrating sorting, anaerobic digestion, renewable gas production and the recovery of secondary materials.
Nagpur illustrates SusBDe's integrated project concept and how it can be delivered through dedicated local project execution, international engineering, specialist technology partners and arrangements for insurance and carbon credits.

The Nagpur project brings together a long-term municipal framework, an Indian project promoter and operator, engineering inputs from the Netherlands and India, specialised treatment technology, and arrangements for insurance and carbon credit development.
Structural and engineering contributions include Geelhoed Engineering in the Netherlands and PRIVIJ Consultants Engineering in India. This combination of international know-how and Indian engineering and execution capacity is integral to a replicable project approach.
Nagpur represents more than a single renewable energy facility. Its phased development illustrates how large-scale waste-to-resource projects can progress from project design and commissioning to commercial production while retaining a repeatable integrated structure.
The experience gained provides a reference for further municipal waste-to-CBG developments in India and for potential application in other international markets.
Commencing April 14th, 2024, Savoie Senegal and SusBDe join forces to confront Senegal's waste management issues and foster clean energy production for the region. Leveraging organic waste sourced from municipal collections by local partners, the initiative aims to effect positive change and cultivate renewable energy solutions.
Embarking on a Vision: From Signing to Groundbreaking on November 27th, 2023! Following a year of meticulous preparation, the Nagpur project officially commenced upon the signing in April 2023. The exciting groundbreaking event took place at the Nagpur facility!!
Our adaptable French blueprint not only provides a compelling template for future growth but also represents the initial milestone for achieving an efficient time-to-market in the biogas production industry, allowing you to progress from inception to full commercial operation within 18-24 months.
Central U.P. Gas Limited (Central Uttar Pradesh Gas Limited) and SusBDe are collaborating to develop joint projects in the state of Uttar Pradesh and beyond.
