This company has installed energy making plant from the waste product of wine industry. They have two different ways of production of electricity depending upon the use of different waste materials produce during wine production. In the first method they use marc; dried seeds of grapes produce during wine production as a waste products. These products are burnt for production of steam which runs a high speed engine to produce electricity. In second method they use liquid waste from winery for further fermentation for production of biogas which is used as fuel for engine.
The production of this energy is sufficient for their personal consumption of energy and apart of this they sell the access produced energy.
