Deputy Chief Minister of Punjab, Mr. Sukhbir Singh Badal gave in approval for the establishment of SUNSUL Technology Power Plant, a first-of-its-kind renewable energy project in the world which will use industrial waste to generate power. During a demonstration in Hungary the DCM interacted with Mr. Himanshu Verma, the MD of Navrattan Green Power Corporation Ltd. and Mr. Lazlo Pakh, the MD of Fakon Vallalkozasi to set-up a SUNSUL Technology plant in Punjab, India.
The innovation uses scientific invention to heat sulphur using photo-voltaic cells to produce power. The company will be installing one megawatt renewable energy plant using company's patented invention in Punjab in the next six months.
Giving details of the project, Mr. Varma said that it consisted of a
self-moving solar dish along with a turbine and other parts. “Industrial
sulphur is heated using sun rays to change its character and produce
steam which ran a turbine and generated power. This innovation, which
used an intellectual property product along with Sulphur to get the
desired results, has efficiency between 40 to 70 per cent. Nowhere else
in the world does any system generate efficiency of more than 25 per
cent,” he added.
Mr. Badal, after taking a round of the scientific establishment and also
examining the first and second generation machines created by the
company, said that Punjab was keen to produce clean and green energy and
would support any innovation which increased efficiency along with
being cost effective.
He appreciated the company for coming out with a technology which was three times more efficient than solar plant technology.
