Compressed Biogas (CBG)

What is Compressed Biogas ?

Compressed Biogas (CBG), also known as BioCNG, is derived from upgradation of biogas that is produced through anaerobic digestion. The biogas thus derived from purified form of biogas with methane content >96%. The raw biogas is produced by anaerobic digestion of organic waste—like agricultural residue, cattle dung, food waste, and municipal solids, paddy straw.

Compressed Biogas plants offer several advantages

1. Avoids unscientific disposal of waste

2. Generates useful energy from waste and residues

3. Helps generate organic manure that is useful in soil regeneration

4. Improves local economies and livelihood

5. Helps reduce our Nation’s crude import

6. Doesn’t contaminate the environment in anyway

What constitutes a Compressed Biogas plant

1. Feed management (collection, sorting, crushing feeding)

2. Digestion under anaerobic conditions

3. Gas Upgradation (Removal of H2O, CO2, H2S)

4. Compression and bottling to high pressure cylinders.

How can we utilize Compressed Biogas

1. As Vehicle fuel for transportation in passenger vehicles and goods transportation

2. For heating in furnaces, heat transfer modules

3. For power generation as a substitute in case of more expensive alternatives

Advantages of investing in a Compressed Biogas plant

1. Profitable business with a return on investment of 4-5 years.

2. Environment friendly

3. High and continuous demand of fuels

4. Localization of energy generation and consumption
