Flagship Case
XEMX Pandharpur (3TPD)
India's fastest-executed 3TPD CBG project, showcasing scale, speed, and advanced technology.
View Full Case StudyThis project reflects XEMX's approach to efficiency and process reliability. By converting sugar-industry residues into renewable natural gas (also known as compressed biogas (CBG)) and organic fertilizers, the Pandharpur facility demonstrates how waste can be fully utilised through decentralised infrastructure and controlled operations.
Feedstock: 85 tonnes/day of pressmud
Output: 3 tonnes/day of compressed biogas + 10 tonnes/day of organic fertilizer
Timeline: Commissioned in 8 months (fastest in category)
Performance: >80% capacity utilisation in first three months
Impact: ~350 tonnes/year of CO₂ equivalent savings, consistent gas sales to public distribution networks
