Pilot Project
Pioneering Waste to Energy Solutions Across India
At JRKENERGY, we believe in building trust through proven performance.
That’s why before scaling our Fast Pyrolysis (Continuous) technology across India, we implemented successful pilot projects that showcase:
✅ Technology viability
✅ Economic returns
✅ Environmental & social impact
Bamboo Waste Scientific Disposal Project, Nagpur
Project Overview
In partnership with the Maharashtra Bamboo Development Board (MBDB), our team set up a pilot Fast Pyrolysis unit in Nagpur, Maharashtra, designed specifically to tackle bamboo agro waste, a significant contributor to rural biomass burning.
The goal:
- Convert waste bamboo into bio oil, LDO, activated charcoal & syngas
- Prove market demand for these products
- Create rural jobs while reducing pollution
Our Technology In Action
Input
- Bamboo agro waste, sourced locally under MBDB.
Process
- Shredded, dried to <10% moisture
- Fed into our patented Fast Pyrolysis reactor
- Heated to 500-550°C in oxygen-free environment
Outputs
- Bio-Oil: Sold to local industries as furnace oil alternative
- Light Diesel Oil (LDO): Further refined via collaboration with LIT Nagpur
- Activated Charcoal: Tested by NEERI and LIT for adsorption & soil improvement
- Syngas: Used to run parts of the system, lowering external fuel needs
- Organic Pesticides: Collected condensate used by farmers
Measured Impact & Results
Parameter | Pilot Outcome in Nagpur |
Bio-Oil + Organic Pesticide Yield | ~50% of input biomass |
Activated Charcoal Yield | ~30% |
Energy Efficiency | ~99% self-powered |
Rural Jobs Created | 60+ direct, 100+ indirect |
Agro Waste Monetization | ₹3000-5000/ton paid to farmers |
Reduction in Crop Burning | Significant decline in local burning observed |
Validation by Leading Institutes
Our project is validated & documented by:
NEERI (National Environmental Engineering Research Institute)
Studied char quality & environmental benefits
MBDB (Maharashtra Bamboo Development Board)
Supported project implementation and market linkages
LIT (Laxminarayan Institute of Technology), Nagpur
Ran extensive distillation & quality tests on bio-oil and LDO
This ensures our technology is not just theoretically sound but practically tested, under the scrutiny of top scientific bodies.
Recognised by Government Leaders
Our pilot plant was visited by dignitaries including:
Shri Nitin Gadkari
(Minister of Road Transport & Highways)
Shri Dharmendra Pradhan
(Former Petroleum Minister)
Who appreciated our model as a powerful solution for:
- Reducing rural unemployment
- Monetizing agro waste
- Decreasing air pollution from crop burning
Scalable Across India
With the Nagpur project as a proof of concept, we’re now ready to replicate this across multiple districts & states, adapting to local agro waste types — from sugarcane trash in Uttar Pradesh to cotton stalks in Telangana.
Our studies show potential to set up 10,000+ such units across India, each employing 60+ people directly, making it a key contributor to India’s Clean Energy & Rural Development Missions.
