Chandigarh: Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann has asked leading German company Verbio Group to explore future collaboration opportunities with the state in the renewable energy sector.

The Bhagwant Mann on Thursday called on founder and CEO Verbio Vereinigte BioEnergie AG Claus Sauter, during his visit to Berlin. The chief minister said that Verbio Group has a strong association with the state as its Indian subsidiary Verbio India has recently commissioned one of largest biofuel (Biomethane/Bio-CNG) production units in India with 33 TPD (tons per day) of Bio-CNG capacity at Sangrur.

Bhgawant Mann said that the bio-CNG project of 80,000 m3/day capacity will produce biogas by the anaerobic digestion process and is a great way to solve the problem of stubble burning.
Further, Mann, while sharing his vision and policies for the growth of the industrial ecosystem in the state, invited the Verbio Group to extend their association with Punjab and establish more product verticals in the State.

The chief minister and CEO Sauter discussed the group’s project in the state and its contribution in managing the agri-residue of the State.
