Cummins India, IISc tie up for biomass-based power systems
Cummins India Ltd and the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) have announced an agreement for commercialisation of biomass gasification power generation systems.
While biomass gasification technologies have been available for the past three decades, the collaboration marks large-scale commercialisation of the technology with products designed for optimised operations and uptime.
Mr Rampraveen Swaminathan, Vice President - Power Generation Business, Cummins India, said, 'Cummins is committed to developing power generation technologies based on lower cost and sustainable fuels. This initiative provides a significant lifecycle cost advantage over hydrocarbon fuels and also enables us to develop sustainable energy systems.
'Over the past two years we have been working on making several changes in our engine and genset designs to ensure that our products meet desired efficiency levels. The systems can provide power plants up to 1.5 MWe which makes it a very attractive option for industry as well.'
Under the agreement, Cummins India will manufacture pre-integrated generator sets, which will be used in projects developed internally or through licensees approved by IISc for manufacture of gasification systems.
