Biomass based power project by Harinagar Sugar Mills Ltd
Green Circle supports certified climate projects that deliver measurable emission reductions and long-term environmental value. One such example is the Biomass Based Power Project by Harinagar Sugar Mills Ltd in Bihar, India. The project uses biomass energy to support lower-carbon power generation and reduce reliance on fossil-fuel-based electricity.
Renewable energy from biomass
Biomass energy projects convert organic residues into usable energy, often producing electricity and useful thermal energy for industrial operations. In a sugar mill context, biomass-based generation typically supports on-site energy needs while also supplying clean electricity to the grid, helping displace carbon-intensive power generation.
Climate and environmental impact
The project delivers documented climate benefits by generating energy from biomass and reducing greenhouse gas emissions associated with fossil-fuel-based power generation. Emission reductions are calculated, monitored, and verified in accordance with internationally recognised methodologies, resulting in measurable and traceable reductions in carbon dioxide equivalent emissions.
Certification and verification
The Biomass Based Power Project by Harinagar Sugar Mills Ltd is registered and verified under the Clean Development Mechanism of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. All emission reductions are independently audited by accredited third-party entities to ensure they are real, measurable, and additional. This verification framework supports transparent and credible climate accounting.
How this relates to Green Circle
Green Circle does not develop or operate climate projects directly. Instead, we enable companies to support certified, high-integrity climate initiatives such as this biomass-based power project through structured carbon offset programs. By participating in Green Circle programs, companies contribute to projects that deliver verified CO₂ reductions, are independently audited, and provide documented climate impact suitable for ESG reporting and responsible communication.
