Biogas is a sustainable energy source generated by anaerobic digestion of organic waste materials

What is Biogas?

Biogas consists primarily of Methane (45-75%) and includes gases like carbon dioxide, hydrogen, hydrogen sulfide, and nitrogen

Composition of Biogas

Biogas finds versatile applications, replacing high-emission fossil fuels

Applications of Biogas

CBG can directly substitute CNG and is compatible with CNG vehicles

Compressed Biogas (CBG)

Biogas production can help reduce natural gas imports by controlling methane leaks during production and upgrading

Reducing Natural Gas Imports

Biogas can be upgraded to Biomethane by removing impurities and increasing methane content to 90%

Biomethane Production

Biomethane can be injected into gas grids, providing a non-fossil gas equivalent to natural gas

Biomethane in Gas Grids

Biogas can be compressed for transportation, reducing dependence on fossil fuels and addressing fuel insecurity

Transportation and Biofuels

Prioritizing biofuels like biogas can address challenges posed by fossil fuels, including fuel insecurity, import dependence, and current account deficits in India
