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.

Biogas Powered Cars Vs. Electric Cars

It is common knowledge that both electric and biogas(BioCNG) powered vehicles are good for the environment and cheaper to run than the petroleum-driven ones. This makes many eco-enthusiasts debate about which of the two reigns supreme. With large-scale manufacturers such as Tesla and Nissan supporting electric cars, people may get tempted to switch to the voltaic team, but BioCNG powered cars have their own benefits. One of the main benefits of refining biogas via biogas upgrading is that it allows you to convert your petrol or diesel fueled car into a bioCNG based one. Besides, it can take years for India to have fully functional electric car stations for recharging while we already have BioCNG stations. Moreover, bioCNG based cars are even supported by the Indian Government with subsidies on refueling, upgrading, etc. If this isn’t enough reason to get a bioCNG powered car, you can do the comparison of electric and bioCNG cars given below: Efficiency Efficiency is a commonly...
