Renewable Energy Development

Conventional energy source’s are getting exhausted fast. Unlimited needs and limited resources is the major problem facing by the entire world. So, the development of renewable energy is very important in this time.The Andhyodaya is a forerunner in the area of propagation and innovation of renewable energy projects through out India.

The World is in an energy crisis. Renewable energy sources are the only solution.The Andhyodaya is introducing various programmes regarding to this problems, they are Biogas extension and Solar energy programme

1. Biogas Extension Programme

As the name itself suggests, a biogas plant uses biowastes to garner domestic fuel. The principle behind this is anaerobic digestion. In this method, the digestion of organic matter is carried out in the absence of air in a deep tank. During the process, anaerobic bacteria convert organic solids to methane, carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulphide, ammonia etc. The degradation of the organic matter takes place in two stages. The first stage involves the acid forming bacteria, which hydrolyses the waste into shorter chain organic compounds like organic alcohols, acids and ammonia. In the second stage, methanogenic bacteria convert these intermediate products into gases. Biogas plants are based on the anaerobic technology, which serve dual purpose of reducing environmental pollution and generating energy.

The Andhyodaya has constructed more than 23,000 domestic biogas plants and 1200 institutional biogas plants. We are one of the project partners of the ANERT, Govt. of Kerala State Nodal Agency for Renewable Energy Programme. We also join hands with the Khadi Village Industries Commission (KVIC) in implementing all types of renewable energy programmes in the state of Kerala. In constructing biogas plants we mainly consider rubber latex waste water, cow dung, piggery waste and kitchen waste as the raw materials.

Subsidies are reached to the beneficiaries from Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE), Govt. of India and Agency for Non-Conventional Energy and Rural Technology (ANERT).
