India has seen a surge in CBG plants in recent years and that can be attributed to the increasing awareness across the globe. As we all know that India is one of the fastest growing economies in the world and its energy consumption is also increasing rapidly. India is looking to increase its dependence on sustainable energy options. India imports about 77 percent of its crude oil requirements and about 50 percent of its natural gas requirements. Besides, paddy stubble burning has also been a huge challenge for the Indian government.  Many countries have used innovative methods to use paddy stubble as raw material which not only helps overcome energy limitations, but also curbs pollution by a significant margin.

India all poised to get Rs. 2 trillion investments for CBG plants

  India has always been a key market for the entire world since ages and this is especially true when it comes to biogas production. The country will attract investments of Rs. 2 trillion for the setup of more than 5000 compressed biogas plants in India , said petroleum minister, Dharmendra Pradhan later last year. Pradhan was addressing an event post signing an MOU for setting up 900 compressed biogas plants across the country. These CBG plants are part of the visionary SATAT initiative by the Indian government. SATAT stands for- Sustainable Alternative Towards Affordable Transport. The MOUs were signed with the most renowned brands such as Torrent Gas, Adani Gas, JBM group and Petronet LNG. But that’s not it! MOUs were also signed with technology providers such as Praj Industries, CEID consultants, Indian Oil, and Bharat Biogas Energy for setting up biogas plants in India . Pradhan also informed that about Rs. 30,000 crores of investment is estimated in these 900 plants. He added t
