CREST Showcases Sustainable Solutions in Mysuru
The Centre for Renewable Energy and Sustainable Technologies (CREST) in Mysuru has set up an exhibition featuring models of rainwater harvesting ponds designed for two beer manufacturing companies. The display highlights innovative approaches to water conservation and sustainable energy.
Rainwater Harvesting Models for Beer Firms
CREST has developed customized rainwater harvesting systems for two prominent beer firms. The models demonstrate how these companies can capture and store rainwater for industrial use, reducing their dependence on groundwater and municipal supplies. The systems are designed to handle large volumes of runoff from factory rooftops and paved areas.
Green Energy and Biogas Innovations
The exhibition also showcases cutting-edge green energy solutions, including biogas plants that convert organic waste into fuel. Visitors can see how biogas can be used for cooking, heating, or electricity generation, offering a renewable alternative to fossil fuels.
Micro Grid Power Plant for Remote Hamlets
A key highlight is the model of a micro grid-based renewable energy power plant. This system has been used to electrify three remote hamlets in Hunsur taluk, providing reliable electricity to areas previously off the grid. The micro grid integrates solar panels, battery storage, and small wind turbines to ensure continuous power supply.
The exhibition aims to educate businesses and communities about sustainable practices. CREST officials emphasize that these solutions are scalable and can be adapted for various industries and rural settings. The event is open to the public and industry stakeholders until the end of the month.
