Residential Training Programme on: Understanding Compressed Biogas(CBG) Ecosystem in India

Compressed Biogas (CBG) is emerging as a vital component of India’s bioenergy landscape, driven by the government’s focus on sustainability, waste management and energy security. CBG production utilizes organic waste, such as agricultural residues, municipal solid waste and animal manure, converting it into a clean, renewable energy source.

The CBG production potential in India is estimated at around 62 million metric tons of which the Sustainable Alternative Towards Affordable Transportation (SATAT) scheme aims to tap 15 million metric tons. Though the government has introduced several policies and initiatives to accelerate the implementation of CBG projects in India, the number of CBG plants currently installed on the ground is only about 190. To fast track this slow progress which can be attributed to the limited dissemination of CBG-related information among potential investors, it is essential to disseminate knowledge and impart the right technical skills to the stakeholders.

In this regard, Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) is conducting an onsite training program on “Understanding Compressed Biogas (CBG) ecosystem in India”. The training is designed to provide an end-to-end solution to design and install a CBG plant that aligns with the principle of circular economy, energy transition, and sustainable development and reduced dependence on fossil fuels.
