Another feature in TeamSustain's track record is the 100 KW gasification system installed at Periyar Mannimmai College of Engineering for Women, Vallam, Tamilnadu , India.

The system generates 100 units of electricity per hour using coir pith briquettes and other locally available waste. The generation cost of electricity from this system is Rs. 02.70 ( 0.06 US cents), while the existing tariff of the Tamil Nadu Electricity Board (TNBE) is Rs. 4.10 ( 0.09 US cents) nit. L The system provides power to the entire college campus without having to resort to the power grid of the Tamil Nadu Electricity Board. This is the first educational institution in India and believed to be the second in the world to be powered entirely using renewable energy.

The 500 KW thermal application gasification system installed at the Synthite Industrial Chemicals Limited, Karamadia, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu. India is one of the most prestigious and largest project attempted in the country. The project is classified by the concerned Ministry of Non-conventional Energy Sources (MNES) classifies the project as the most successful projects in gasification in the country. The system uses locally available coconut shells as feed material that converts into producer gas. Gasification system helps save 150 liters of diesel per hour and working out to 3000 liters a day for the company. A saving of US$ 0.19 million a year is obtained, which means effectively a payback period of less than 01.5 year on investment of US$ 0.22 million.
