The scale of the worldwide waste-to-energy industry was estimated at USD 31.0 billion in 2019 and is anticipated to increase at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.4 percent from 2020 to 2027. Over the course of the projection period, the industry is anticipated to grow significantly due to favourable legislative policies that encourage effective waste disposal and energy generation as well as rising energy demands from the end-use sector. Due to the quick depletion of conventional energy sources, governments are concentrating on commercializing alternative energy sources like Waste-to-Energy (WTE) technologies.
Additionally, it is anticipated that the adoption of environmental rules pertaining to the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions caused by the use of fossil fuels will only further stimulate the growth of the market. Due to a number of variables, such as the extraction of metals for repurposing, the balance of carbon dioxide from fossil fuel power production, and the minimization of methane from landfills, waste to energy plants decrease a considerable emission of pollution emissions.
Furthermore, it is anticipated that the rise of waste-to-energy innovation as a dependable waste management platform will be further aided by space constraints and growing landfilling costs. More nations are choosing to use safer and more efficient forms of energy production and industrial activities as a result of growing concern for the environment about the rise in carbon emissions caused by the use of traditional fuels in industries, transportation, and for power generation. Additionally, as part of their long-term objectives, big powers including the US, Canada, Germany, China, and India are pushing for the adoption of clean and low-carbon-intensive energy technology. Nutzen Engineering Solutions is a full-service project delivery firm that provides integrated planning, design, engineering, project delivery, and long-term O&M services for Biogas-based energy production from any kind of organic waste.
Range of Services
The waste management sector is still developing and includes all engineering disciplines, such as chemical, electrical, mechanical, and civil. A key to success is having a thorough understanding of all of these minute aspects and how to integrate all of these processes together. “We have created a name and space for ourselves thanks to indigenous in-house technologies for biogas generation, biogas conditioning, a knowledgeable engineering, well-seasoned project execution team, and most important after-sales support team. We are a dependable, dynamic, and energetic company that likes to cater to the growing biogas market in India and globally with state of art engineering solutions”, shares Vikrant Palyekar.
Nutzen's solutions are not just supported by recent engineering practices; they also take into account process efficiency, plant load factor, and probable turndowns. As a result, the firm focuses primarily on using all types of energy, such as electrical and thermal, in conjunction, to achieve more than 90 percent process efficiency. An example of this is the production of electricity from biogas, in which the engine heat and exhaust
gas heat are utilized to create steam in a waste heat recovery boiler, which is then used to create hot water and steam for additional industrial applications. The more efficiently energy is used, the more sustainable and carbon-neutral a project will be.
Nutzen has showcased an ability to offer concept-to-commissioning services along with ongoing operation and maintenance assistance. This has earned the firm a unique position in the market. From a technical and commercial standpoint, Nutzen performs the basic work for a feasibility study. Using this, they then create a bankable detailed project report (DPR), offer technological solutions, and give ongoing support through an after sales team. The essential capabilities for biogas generation, conditioning, and utilization that offers them an edge in the market have been created with their own technological division.
These are the distinctive products that the organization has been able to provide on the biogas market, which helps them stand out from the competition and reduces the reliance on companies that use foreign technology. As a result, the client receives a single accountable business throughout the project's whole life cycle. This type of one-stop offering in addition to the reliability that the firm offers to its patrons has acted hugely in favour of the organization, enabling it to grow gradually with a firm footing throughout.
Differentiating Factors
Aiming to provide value both inside and outside, the organization was designed. Internally, they refer to the open culture that they have developed, one in which inclusion, inspiration, teamwork, and innovation are all valued. With the projects being completed in a time- and cost-effective fashion, this culture has made it possible to scale up very quickly. Nutzen has built a few internal systems to more effectively support the industry and has already submitted patent applications for two of its revolutionary systems. When discussing from the perspective of the outside world or the business, however, it is clear that there is a need for standardization because, as was previously stated, the industry lacked it. As a result, Nutzen has started using both grassroots and top-down strategies to spread the word about better approaches and procedures.
“We have been foot soldiers while talking with each customer individually, presenting the concept to the commissioning proposition, and at the top level, we have played an advisory role in stating the challenges in the industry and suggestions to overcome those challenges by talking to Indian government bodies, MNRE or their nodal agencies on a regular basis. For the market, we offer single umbrella waste management solutions with our indigenous, field operating, proven technologies and backing it up with strong after-sales support for long-term operation and maintenance contracts”, adds Vikrant Hiwase. The marketplace requires a single-point provider who handles the project's turnkey execution using internal technologies. The major offering and differentiators of Nutzen Engineering Solutions are their in-house technology and expertise in chemical, process, and electro-mechanical, as well as their long-term operation and maintenance contracts.
Future Roadmap
“From the beginning, we believed in working in a very organized way. The company works on principles of ethics, open culture, integrity, and the right technology solutions for the market. With this approach, we have never oversold, neither did we suggest improper solutions. Our enthusiasm was as high as delivering mega-scale or micro-scale projects. A few of our prominent events include getting patent worth technologies for digester mixing, working examples of digester mixing technology at Jaipur Sewage treatment plant, and of course, trigeneration 2 MW Biogas to Power plant at Siddapur Distilleries, which is one the biggest working examples of biogas to electricity from India”, speaks the technical directorate Nutzen Engineering.

A conducive environment has been set-up by the government whilst also providing incentives initiatives through MNRE, SATAT strategies, Power purchase agreements by national grids, public access arrangements, and more. There really are strong market prospects for the management of waste with even more municipal authorities partaking in the Swachh Bharat Mission, Public-Private Partnerships, the Oil and Marketing companies like IOCL, and BPCL encouraging the projects for CBG offtake, and more.
Establishing a strong presence throughout the country, Nutzen has begun looking into new geographic areas while also investing in the development of its capabilities to carry out projects in ever-more-effective methods. Through these measures the firm is expecting to expand efficiently and effectively in the coming years, becoming the leading waste-to-energy converting organization in the country.
