      By reducing 1.4 million kg of CO2 emissions, the Gurugram biogas plant and material recovery facility, part of the Hyundai Motor India Foundation (HMIF) EcoGram initiative, has made a substantial contribution to environmental sustainability. EcoGram was founded in October 2022 and has processed 404,000 kg of garbage that was gathered from more than 2,000 homes as well as the Gurugram headquarters of Hyundai Motor India.

      The plant, which was built for Rs 2.13 crore, can generate 76 megawatts of electricity annually and is already self-sufficient with intentions to start supplying the grid with power soon.

      Puneet Anand, AVP & Vertical Head – Corporate Affairs at Hyundai Motor India Limited, shared “EcoGram is an initiative towards sustainable management of waste in metropolitan cities. We have saved a considerable amount of waste from ending up in landfills, curbing 1.4 million kg of CO2 emissions, creating a self-sustaining facility and aiming to set a benchmark for other cities to follow. EcoGram facility will continue to serve Gurugram and would aim to contribute towards the betterment of the environment and pave the roadmap for a sustainable future.”

      With a daily capacity of 2,000 kg of wet waste and 5,000 kg of dry waste, EcoGram can treat both types of garbage. It reduces greenhouse gas emissions from landfills by recycling dry trash and producing biogas from wet waste for the production of energy.

      Due to the plant’s installed capacity, 200 kilowatts of power may be generated daily, for a total of around 40 megawatts of electricity produced thus far. EcoGram collects rubbish from three RWAs, which together contain more than 2,000 families, with assistance from the Metropolitan Corporation of Gurugram (MCG). This demonstrates the joint efforts of EcoGram towards sustainable waste management.
