Juno Joule Bio Fuels commences groundbreaking for Compressed Bio-Gas project in Telangana

Hyderabad, Apr 12 (PTI) Juno Joule Bio Fuels Private Ltd on Sunday announced the groundbreaking of its flagship CBG project in Siddipet district of Telangana.


    The project at Narmetta Industrial area marks a significant step in advancing sustainable waste-to-energy solutions and strengthening India’s clean fuel ecosystem, a release said.



    The initiative is part of a larger cluster development comprising 10 Compressed Bio-Gas (CBG) plants, each with a capacity of 10 tons per day (TPD), aggregating to a total production capacity of 100 TPD, with a total planned investment of Rs 700 crore.



    The first phase, being launched at Narmetta, comprises three CBG units (10 TPD each) with an investment of Rs 210 crore, and is envisioned as a key hub for scalable bio-energy production in the state.



    The project will be implemented in three phases - Phase 1 (3 plants), Phase 2 (3 plants), and Phase 3 (4 plants) - with the entire cluster expected to be completed by 2029–2030, contributing to India’s transition toward circular and low-carbon energy systems, it said.



    The project is being implemented under the Government of India’s CBG–CGD Synchronisation scheme, which aims to integrate compressed bio-gas into the City Gas Distribution (CGD) network.



    Juno Joule’s CBG plants will convert agricultural residue such as paddy straw, along with organic waste streams including poultry waste and cattle dung, into clean fuel. This approach not only addresses environmental concerns such as stubble burning and greenhouse gas emissions but also promotes a circular economy by transforming waste into valuable energy resources, the release said.



    Telangana IT and Industries Minister D Sridhar Babu, who attended the groundbreaking ceremony said initiatives like Compressed Bio-Gas project reflect the state’s focus on clean energy, innovation, and rural development.
    By converting agricultural and organic waste into valuable energy, such projects not only address environmental challenges but also create new economic opportunities for our farmers and local communities, he said.
    CEO of Juno Joule Bio Fuels Pvt Ltd, Nagasharath Rayapati, said: “Our cluster-based approach is designed to deliver consistency at scale, unlock value from agricultural waste, and contribute meaningfully to India’s energy security and rural economy.”



    The project has secured structured offtake arrangements with GAIL (India) Limited and Bhagyanagar Gas Limited (BGL), ensuring integration into the CGD network and enabling supply for mobility and industrial applications in the Hyderabad region.

    These partnerships provide demand assurance and strengthen the commercial viability of the project, the release added.
