GPS Renewables, India, has set up biogas units on their premises in Karnataka. The biogas company converts over 20 tonnes of food waste in 30 biogas generating plants across 11 states which generate 1400kg LPG. In April 2015, Indian Institute of Management Bengaluru (IIMB) graduates Sreekrishna Sankar and Mainak Chakraborty set up the company which has set up units in Bangladesh, Japan, and Malaysia. GPS Renewables uses the Biourja system, a high-rate dry anaerobic digestion system that digests biowaste and produces biogas.
