Our Philosophy is Simply Being Responsible

About Us

ShivOm Dayal Energies has been involved in evaluating the potential for renewable and sustainable energy production from biomass. The biomass is made using feedstock like Napier/elephant grass, wood shavings, straw, food waste etc. The benefits of biomass include: reduction of green house emissions, high quality bio-organic fertilisers, CNG gas which is LPG equivalent cooking gas, electricity production ( waste to energy), bio-plastic pellets and bio-fuel (ethanol). We have proudly achieved the lab scale production of Bio-plastic with the help of scientists from I.I.T Roorkee using cellulose nano crystals.

ShivOm Dayal Energies is now on the stage of starting a pre-commercial production plant of bio-ethanol from biomass. The plant will produce bio-ethanol fuel from feedstocks which are abundantly available at a very nominal cost in India. Our company proposes to enter into a continuous Ethanol Purchase Agreements with various corporate sectors and Government run oil companies.

Overview

Green Bio-Refinery is seen as new utilisation pathway to enter future markets like food/feed, biochemical material and Bio fuel sector. Our Bio-refinery is expected to support rural development and agricultural sector respectively. Indian climatic conditions offer an ideal environment for biomass production. Bio-energy has remained critical to India's energy mix. The availability of Bio-mass in India is estimated at about 540 million tons per year covering residues from agriculture, forestry & plantation. The current potential of surplus agro and forest residues to energy is estimated at 16881 MW & waste to energy potential of 2700 MW.

Indian Government has decided to boost ethanol production as it has made mandatory for oil companies to blend 10 percent ethanol with petrol from starting next year.

India has the advantage of having a large domestic market and it becoming the manufacturing hub, with added advantage of low cost of labor, open business environment, and with our Respected Prime Minister HE Shri. Narender Modi giving extra benefits for startups under his 'Make In India' and 'Startup India' Scheme and benefits to eco-friendly projects like Renewable Energy have special tax holiday & regulations for certain applications to promote new industries like this.
