Compressed Bio-Gas (CBG)

Compressed Bio-Gas (CBG) is an emerging clean energy solution produced from organic waste such as agricultural residue, municipal solid waste, press mud, and animal waste. It is a renewable and eco-friendly alternative to conventional fossil fuels and plays a vital role in India’s transition towards a low-carbon and sustainable energy future.

Overview

CBG is purified biogas that contains a high concentration of methane, making it suitable for use as an automotive fuel and for industrial applications. By converting organic waste into energy, CBG promotes sustainable waste management and reduces greenhouse gas emissions.

Importance of CBG for India

  • Supports India’s Net Zero and climate action commitments
  • Promotes waste-to-wealth and circular economy practices
  • Reduces dependence on imported fossil fuels
  • Creates rural employment and entrepreneurship opportunities
  • Contributes to cleaner air and sustainable development
