Subject: Compressed Biogas (CBG) The case of Western Uttar Pradesh
Event Organizers: CSE India and Uttar Pradesh New and Renewable Energy Development Agency (UPNEDA)
Event Objective: To connect Compressed Biogas (CBG) producers in the state of Uttar Pradesh with policymakers, share successful practices in the CBG sector, highlight opportunities for start-ups and youth, raise awareness among district-level bioenergy committees, and educate farmer-producer bodies on the potential of bioenergy as an alternative clean energy source in India.
Description: Uttar Pradesh Leads the Nation in Compressed Biogas Potential, but Challenges Persist, Say Experts at CSE-Uttar Pradesh New and Renewable Energy Development Agency (UPNEDA) Joint Symposium.
The symposium brought together experts to discuss the challenges and opportunities for compressed biogas (CBG) production in Uttar Pradesh.
Uttar Pradesh accounts for 24 per cent of the total compressed biogas (CBG) generation potential in India. According to CSE’s latest report, UP alone can install 1,000 CBG projects out of the 5,000 plants envisioned nationwide under the Sustainable Alternative Towards Affordable Transportation (SATAT) scheme, if a mere 20 per cent of its surplus feedstock is tapped
Western UP (especially Muzaffarnagar, Meerut, Saharanpur, Bijnor, Bulandshahar and Aligarh) leads in feedstock availability as well as maximum number of functional and upcoming CBG plants in the state.
