Indigo Green Energy (“IGE”) is a provider of Renewable Energy and Agri Management solutions.
IGE Power
Electricity Generation – IGE Power was founded on a mission to use efficient and cost effective sources to generate electricity. Energy sources include Wind, Biomass, Solar and Hydel
- Wind – Energy from Wind is produced by using wind generators to harness the kinetic energy of wind. The turbine blades of Windmill are designed to capture the kinetic energy in wind. The rest is nearly identical to a hydroelectric setup: When the turbine blades capture wind energy and start moving, they spin a shaft that leads from the hub of the rotor to a generator. The generator turns that rotational energy into electricity. At its essence, generating electricity from the wind is all about transferring energy from one medium to another
- Biomass – Biomass power plants work on the principle of thermal and biochemical power generation, which is conversion of energy available in Biomass to generate mechanical power and then electrical power. Biomass is the organic matter produced by plants both by terrestrial and aquatic and their derivatives. It includes bio wastes and residues etc.
- Solar – Solar power is the conversion of sunlight and heat into electricity, either directly using Photovoltaic (PV), or indirectly using concentrated solar power (CSP). CSP systems use lenses or mirrors and tracking systems to focus a large area of sunlight into a small beam. PV converts light into electric current using the photoelectric effect
- Hydel – Energy from Hydel is generated by using electricity generators to extract energy from moving water. Most hydroelectric power comes from the potential energy of dammed water driving a water turbine and generator. The power extracted from the water depends on the volume and on the difference in height between the source and the water's outflow. This height difference is called the head. The amount of potential energy in water is proportional to the head. To deliver water to a turbine while maintaining pressure arising from the head, a large pipe called a penstock may be used
IGE Agri Management Solutions
IGE’s Agri Management solutions focus on Biochar and Bioenergy co-production from urban, agricultural and forestry biomass. The objective is to combat global climate change by displacing fossil fuel use, by sequestering carbon instable soil carbon pools, and by dramatically reducing emissions of nitrous oxides, a more potent greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide. As a soil amendment, Biochar helps to improve the Earth’s soil resource by increasing crop yields and productivity, by reducing soil acidity, and by reducing the need for some chemical and fertilizer inputs. Water quality is improved by the use of Biochar as a soil amendment, because Biochar aids in soil retention of nutrients and agrochemicals for plant and crop utilization, reducing leaching and run-off to ground and surface waters. Biochar production and utilization systems differ from most biomass energy systems because the technology is carbon-negative: it removes net carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and stores it in stable soil carbon “sinks”. Other biomass energy systems are at best carbon-neutral, resulting in no net changes to atmospheric carbon dioxide.
