The CBG Dialogues-Building a Bioenergy Nation

India imports nearly 50 per cent of its natural gas at a cost of over
US $14,900 million annually. Compressed Biogas (CBG) offers a viable domestic, waste-based alternative — it has the potential to transform agricultural residues, municipal organic waste and industrial biomass into a clean transport and cooking fuel, while sup porting India’s climate and energy security goals. Despite this, only around 206 plants are operational against a target of 5,000. What will it take to unlock the sector’s full potential?

Join CSE’s researchers in our series of two webinars as they present findings from two reports and engage with policymakers, industry stakeholders and practitioners.
