Major Reasons Biogas is the New Rage

Bio-gas has become immensely popular over the last few years. There was always a need of an eco-friendly energy alternative and biogas filled that gap. It is not only eco-friendly, but also a convenient and cost-effective alternative of fuel. India being rich in biomass has a huge potential of 16,881 MW (agro-residues and plantations), about 5000 MW (bagasse cogeneration) and approx. 2500 MW (energy recovery from waste).

It may interest you that every year biomass power generation industry in India attracts millions of dollars of investment in India. It generates employment like no other industry and produces electricity. Traditional biomass fuel such as fuel wood, animal dung and crop waste make for potential raw material for bio-gas generation. Biogas companies in India are able to offer employment to millions of people apart from providing an eco-friendly and cost effective energy alternative. Even biogas upgradation systems generate employment in ways more than one.
Let’s take a look at some of the major reasons why biogas is the new rage -

• Reduced Pollution

Over the past few decades, damage to the environment increased exponentially and that’s why biogas gained popularity. Governments as well as biogas companies in India emphasized using biogas so that pollution can be decreased. Time that used to get wasted in collecting firewood also gets saved because of biogas. Biogas has also helped improve the living standards of people in rural areas. In addition, because of reduced deforestation, we can contribute to saving the environment in a much more effective manner. Biogas generation is not an uphill task and so isn’t biogas purification. Biogas upgradation systems provided by the top companies in India are simple to install and easy to use.

• Lowers Requirement for imported Fuel

Overall oil import bill has hurt India for a long time. We have so much of renewable biomass available that we can expect to reduce the imports by at least 20 percent, if not more, by the year 2022. As of now India imports about 1/3rd of its energy needs. As the world’s 3rd largest crude oil importer, India can expect to halve its oil import by the year 2030 which is quite exciting from Indian economy’s viewpoint.

• Reduced Reliance on Fuel Fossils

As of now, fossil fuels such as oil and coal caters to 95 percent of the fuel requirement of India. By using biogas we can expect it to be curbed by a significant margin which again is beneficial from the economy and environmental view point.
