Zero carbon irrigation contract win marks entry into Agritech sector
Eneraqua Technologies plc, a provider of specialist energy and water efficiency solutions, is pleased to announce its ClimateSmart Irrigation solution has been selected by the Department of Horticulture for the State Government of Uttarakhand, India. The £0.9m contract will see the Group supply the systems to 340 horticultural farms across the state reducing their carbon emissions and improving water efficiency. This is the first major zero carbon irrigation initiative of its kind in India.
The programme, which is scheduled to start in 2022 and complete in 2023, will see Eneraqua Technologies' India subsidiary, Cenergist Energy Private Ltd, deliver a package of water, energy and soil conservation solutions which integrates the Company's patented technology Control Flow HL2024. By efficiently managing water usage, this will help farmers to conserve water, improve crop yield and prevent soil erosion. Solar PV is used to power the irrigation systems.
The project in Uttarakhand represents an important step towards the decarbonisation of the agriculture sector and provides a template for other states in India and beyond.
Eneraqua Technologies is committed to helping its clients meet their decarbonisation and net-zero targets through its patented technologies. As a specialist in this area, the Group can help organisations achieve their climate change goals in a low-cost and sustainable manner.
Commenting on the contract win, Eneraqua Technologies CEO, Mitesh Dhanak, said: "We are delighted to be chosen by the State Government of Uttarakhand to support them in delivering this important programme. As well as reducing carbon emissions, this programme will also reduce pressure on water resources and improve the incomes of farmers. This offers an attractive template for other states looking to decarbonise the agricultural sector while meeting the challenges of sustainability."
