Years later, Ratnesh earned his Ph.D. in Biomass Energy from IIT Delhi and founded Koshish Sustainable Solution Pvt. Ltd, a company that builds biogas plants from raw materials such as cow manure, poultry offal, agricultural waste, mud press, cooked material, raw food waste, and other biodegradable waste.

As a child, Ratnesh Tiwari grew up in a very village in a state wherever a preferred Hanuman temple is found and lakhs of pilgrims visit each week, exploiting the place laid low with every kind of garbage. Years later, Ratnesh completed his Ph.D. in Biomass Energy from the IIT metropolis and has supported Koshish property resolution Pvt. Ltd, a corporation that builds biogas units from raw materials akin to cow dung, poultry waste, agriculture waste, press mud, hard-baked & raw food waste, and alternative perishable waste.

“Our biogas units are put in at farm and poultry farms, piggeries, colleges, and alternative institutions,” says Ratnesh, founder, of Koshish property Solutions. Launched from Noida in late 2019 with an investment of Rs twenty-five lakh, Koshish has with success completed forty biogases come to unfold across ten different states and generated revenue of Rs 1.5 large integer in FY 2021-22.

Ratnesh hails from Bijethua Mahaviran village, fifty kilometers from Sultanpur, wherever he studied at the native school close to the long-lasting Hanuman mandir.

In under 3 years, the corporate has created a big impact on many businesses, that have opted for biogas units that generate both preparation gas and electricity. Except for farms, the biogas units are often created even in rural households wherever they keep simply 3 to four cows at home. A biogas unit with a capability of 1 kiloliter may produce environmentally friendly gas equivalent to 400-450 grams of LPG victimization twenty-weight unit of cow dung or 12.5 kg of domestic food waste.

“The installation of a 1 kiloliter unit prices roughly Rs fortyk, whereas the two-cubic-meter plant unit costs Rs 60k And produces 800 gram of biogas daily victimization around 40 weight unit of scrap or twenty-five kg of food waste. In a very month, 12-13 kg of gas is also generated on an average,” says Ratnesh. 

Koshish has put in around a hundred domestic biogas units in numerous locations across the country and 40 plants in industrial institutions in many nations as well as UP, Odisha, Assam, West Bengal, Tripura, province, and Punjab.

To cite examples, Ratnesh mentions the imminent commissioning of a 1100-cum (cubic meter) capability plant at Outsource Farm in Odisha, a poultry farm with one hundred thousand birds. “The plant generates 1400-1500 units of power daily. The poultry farm currently saves concerning Rs five lakh monthly expenses,” says the 35-year-old scientist.

They created a 75-cubic-meter capacity plant at a pig farm in Guwahati, Assam, wherever the plant not solely meets the farm’s power needs, but additionally turns piggery waste into odorless, nutrient-rich organic manure. In the past, there are complaints of malfunctioning biogas plants that have been created by alternative agencies, however, Ratnesh and his team are additionally reactivating such plants.

Our team with success resurrected a 100-cum capacity cow dung-based biogas facility at Sant Pathik Vidyalaya in Bahraich, Uttar Pradesh, that had been inactive since 2019.” Their sales team visits numerous farms and educates the individuals on the advantages of fitting biogas plants.

If a biogas plant is ready up at the farm, it will produce 600 units of energy per day, which is enough to satisfy the farm’s power needs. Koshish has also got AN order to gather 5 tonnes of perishable waste daily from Rourkela Municipality for power generation.
