Gruner’s Satna CBG project sets record output with 23.5 TPD

Gruner Renewable Energy has claimed to have achieved a historic milestone by recording an unprecedented 23.5 TPD of CBG production in a single day at Satna—the highest ever achieved by any CBG facility in Asia. The biogas plant built and operated by Gruner is operating at 120% of its designed production capacity, significantly outperforming industry utilization levels, where many CBG facilities continue to operate at only 40–50% of installed capacity.

Gruner said in official statement that this accomplishment positions the facility among the world’s top-performing renewable energy assets and makes it the second-highest performing CBG plant globally.

The project involved global engineering expertise through Gruner New Inergie Deutschland GMBH, the Technical Excellence Centre of Gruner and a cumulative portfolio of 500+ bioenergy and biogas plant references worldwide.

The Satna facility stands as a powerful example of innovation, operational excellence, and sustainability working in harmony. By efficiently converting agricultural residue and paddy straw into renewable fuel, the plant contributes significantly to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, promoting sustainable waste management, enhancing rural incomes, and strengthening India’s long-term energy security.

Utkarsh Gupta, Founder & CEO, Gruner Renewable Energy, said, “This achievement demonstrates that India has the capability to build and operate world-class renewable energy infrastructure while transforming agricultural waste into clean energy, farmer prosperity, and greater energy security for the nation.”

Mehmet Oenal, COO of Gruner New Inergie Deutschland GMBH, added, ” The record-setting performance of our Satna CBG Plant demonstrates that India possesses the capability, expertise, and vision to build and operate renewable energy infrastructure that can compete with the very best in the world.”

With an order book exceeding Rs 4,500 crore and more than 72 CBG projects under execution across multiple states, Gruner Renewable Energy is actively contributing to the creation of a robust bioenergy ecosystem.

The company’s efforts are generating rural employment opportunities, supporting farmers with additional income streams, promoting circular economy practices, and accelerating India’s transition toward a low-carbon, energy-secure future.
