Bharat Petroleum Unveils Game-Changing Bharat Hi-Star PNG Stove, Setting New Efficiency Benchmark
30 Sep 2024 | BPCL
Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL), a ‘Maharatna’ and a Fortune Global 500 Company today launched its high-efficiency Bharat Hi-Star PNG Stove. Set to be the world’s most efficient PNG Stove, it will reduce PNG consumption up to 20 – 25% in comparison to conventional stoves. The high efficiency of Bharat Hi-Star PNG Stove will significantly reduce the import of natural gas thus saving FOREX. Further, the state-of-the-art innovation would contribute significantly to net-zero goals by reducing the CO2 emissions.
Bharat Hi-Star PNG Stove comes with high thermal efficiency of more than 74% plus, making it 10- 15% higher in efficiency compared to stoves available in the market. The stove, designed for high thermal efficiency, uses cutting-edge technology developed by BPCL's Corporate R&D Centre (CRDC), a premier research institution in the country, to enhance value for customers.
The company has filed a patent application at Indian Patent Office for the stove. An average household consumes nearly 180 – 200 SCM of natural gas per annum. A 15% jump in the efficiency will save 30 SCM of gas per annum which translates to monetary savings of about INR 1500 – 2000 / household and equivalent carbon emissions from combustion. The benefits will be more in case replacement of old stoves.
India is predicted to become a gas-based economy. The natural gas contribution in India’s energy basket will be increased from 6% at present to 15% by 2030. In quantitative terms, natural gas consumption will be almost tripled to reach 450 MMSCMD by 2030 from current 175 MMSCMD.
BPCL has signed technology licensing agreement with M/s. Stufa Manufacturing Enterprise (Suryaflame) for commercial manufacturing and product will be available to your nearest Bharatgas distributor.
Sustainability is at the heart of Bharat Petroleum and in this onward momentum to increasingly embrace clean and carbon neutral energy, CRDC has extensive programs for Biofuels, Solar, Hydrogen and Carbon Capture.
