The project activity falls under the Sectoral Scope 1: Energy industries (renewable - / non-renewable sources) as per the sectoral scopes defined by the CDM Executive Board. This is not a grouped project as it does not involve combination of GHG projects or other project categories. It is a single project and there are no other project participants involved. The purpose of the project activity is to utilize rice husk available in the region for Steam and electricity generation for captive consumption. The project undertaken is a bundle of two cogeneration plants of capacity 1.0 MW and 0.6 MW located at Bahadurgarh, Patiala in the state of Punjab and Mugalpur, Moradabad in the state of Uttar Pradesh respectively.

Utilizing Rice Husks for Sustainable Energy Generation

The project is focused on generating energy from rice husks, a renewable resource available in the region. Two cogeneration plants, with capacities of 1.0 MW and 0.6 MW each, were built in Bahadurgarh, Patiala and Mugalpur, Moradabad respectively. The project falls under Sectoral Scope 1: Energy industries as defined by the CDM Executive Board.

Key Highlights:
- Utilization of rice husks for steam and electricity generation for captive consumption
- Two cogeneration plants with a combined capacity of 1.6 MW
- Reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by avoiding the use of non-renewable sources of energy

Generating energy from rice husks offers a sustainable alternative to non-renewable sources of energy. By utilizing this renewable resource, the project is able to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The two cogeneration plants have a combined capacity of 1.6 MW, providing a significant source of energy to the region.
