At GreenEdge, we are working on the bio-energy landscape by focusing on renewable natural gas (RNG).
Target 7.2: Increase the share of renewable energy in the global energy mix.
Contribution: The production of CBG from Napier grass provides a renewable, clean, and efficient energy source that can replace fossil fuels like CNG.
Target 2.3: Double the agricultural productivity and incomes of small-scale food producers.
Contribution: Partnering with farmers to grow Napier grass ensures additional income streams and supports food security through sustainable farming practices using organic manure.
Target 12.2: Achieve sustainable management and efficient use of natural resources.
Target 12.5: Substantially reduce waste generation through prevention, reduction, recycling, and reuse.
Contribution: The project creates a circular economy by utilizing agricultural waste and Napier grass for energy production and converting residues into organic manure, minimizing resource waste.
Target 13.2: Integrate climate change measures into national policies and planning.
Contribution: By producing renewable bio-CNG and organic manure, the initiative reduces greenhouse gas emissions, mitigates climate change impacts, and promotes carbon sequestration in soil.
Target 8.2: Achieve higher levels of economic productivity through diversification, technological upgrading, and innovation.
Contribution: Partnering with farmers to grow energy crops fosters rural development, creates jobs, and boosts the local economy.
Target 15.3: Combat desertification, restore degraded land, and achieve land degradation neutrality.
Contribution: The use of organic manure improves soil fertility, reduces dependency on chemical fertilizers, and restores soil health, promoting sustainable farming.
Target 17.16: Enhance partnerships for sustainable development.
Contribution: Collaborating with farmers, agricultural organizations, and local stakeholders ensures inclusive growth, knowledge sharing, and scalability of the initiative.
Carbon Credits: The initiative generate carbon credits, adding financial incentives.
Inclusive Growth: It ensures farmer empowerment through capacity building and fair partnerships.
Technology Integration: R&D for optimized biogas production and organic fertilizer enhancement aligns with innovation goals.
