Project Phases

Project Phases

From Waste to Energy to Hydrogen

Phase 1

Waste → Syngas → Electricity

Our initial phase focuses on converting waste into electricity through advanced thermal technology.

Input Materials

  • Municipal Solid Waste (MSW)
  • Plastic Waste
  • Biomedical Waste (BMW)
  • Hazardous Waste (HW)
  • Metallic Waste

Process

All waste types are fed into the reaction chamber where they're converted into syngas at temperatures exceeding 3000°C. This syngas is then used to generate electricity.

Output

  • Clean electricity for grid distribution
  • Vitrified slag for construction use (1/250th of original volume)
  • Zero harmful emissions

Phase 2

Waste → Syngas → Green Hydrogen

Scalable upgrade using additional modules to produce green hydrogen from waste-derived syngas.

Enhancement

The current technology setup can be easily scaled up for generation of hydrogen with a different setup to be attached after the success of Phase 1. Additional processing modules will be integrated to convert the hydrogen-rich syngas into pure green hydrogen.

Alignment

  • India's Green Hydrogen Mission
  • 5 MMT production target by 2030
  • 10% global market capture
  • 50 MMT annual CO₂ reduction

Output

  • Pure green hydrogen for industrial use and fuel cells
  • Continued electricity generation
  • Vitrified slag

Objective Execution Plan

Dedicated Waste Collection Vehicle

A separate waste vehicle will be mounted and covered in a closed manner with a tripper as part of the proposed project, which aims to transport waste from all stakeholders in accordance with their mutual agreements. There will be a separate expense and cost list for this vehicle.

The project will also incorporate later Varanasi Nagar Nigam's waste.

This expense will be covered by VRPL out of the start-up's funding.

Green Energy Transport

To promote green energy, a CNG or Electric Van vehicle with a 1.5–2 ton/run carrying capacity will operate throughout the city.
