Compressed biogas, or CBG, is gaining traction as a viable alternative to fossil fuels. CBG is created through the anaerobic digestion of organic waste such as agricultural residue, municipal garbage, and sewage sludge.
Because CBG has a large amount of methane, it is a good fuel source for cars, power generation, and industrial applications. It is also a renewable and environmentally benign substitute for typical fossil fuels, which generate damaging greenhouse gases and contribute to climate change.
According to a report, the government is encouraging the use of CBG as a clean fuel. The government has set a goal of producing 15 million metric tonnes of CBG per year by 2023, reducing the country's reliance on imported fossil fuels.
Many Indian companies have already begun producing and selling CBG, and the government is providing incentives and subsidies to encourage additional companies to enter the market.
RK Fortune Investments Pvt Ltd recently opened a new CBG plant to produce compressed biogas from organic waste. The facility is projected to represent a significant step towards constructing a sustainable future by lowering reliance on nonrenewable energy sources and mitigating carbon emissions. According to the owners, Karan Ahuja and Rahul Gupta, the new plant would provide jobs for the local community.
CBG is also being advocated for usage in agriculture, where it can be used to power irrigation pumps and tractors. The utilization of CBG as a clean and sustainable fuel source is an encouraging step forward in the fight against climate change. With governments and businesses alike recognizing its potential, CBG is likely to become more widely used in the near future.
