Compressed Bio Gas (CBG): A Clean Fuel from Waste – Big Opportunity for India
Did you know that the waste we throw away every day—like cow dung, food leftovers, crop waste, and even dirty water—can be turned into clean fuel?
Yes, this fuel is called Compressed Bio Gas (CBG). It looks and works just like CNG (Compressed Natural Gas), but it is made from waste and is much better for the environment.
What is CBG?
CBG is made by collecting organic waste and putting it into a special machine called a digester. Inside, tiny organisms break the waste down and produce biogas. This gas is cleaned and compressed to become CBG. It is then stored in cylinders like CNG.
Where Can CBG Be Used?
CBG can be used for:
Running vehicles like buses, cars, and autos
Cooking at homes, hotels, and restaurants
Factories to run machines and boilers
Making electricity in villages or remote areas
Benefits of CBG
Reduces pollution and keeps our surroundings clean
Manages waste by converting it into energy
Saves money – cheaper than petrol, diesel, and LPG
Creates jobs in villages and supports farmers
Produces natural fertilizer (slurry) for better farming
Growing Demand for CBG
CBG is in high demand in many parts of India:
Cities like Delhi, Mumbai, and Pune are using it in public transport
Industries are shifting to CBG because it’s cheaper and cleaner
Hotels and hospitals are using it for cooking and heating
Government Support
To promote CBG, the Government of India launched the SATAT Scheme, with a target to set up 5,000 CBG plants by 2030.
There are also subsidies and tax benefits:
Up to ₹4 crore subsidy for new plants (under MNRE)
Interest subsidy under the AIF scheme
Tax deduction of 100% profit under Section 80JJA of Income Tax
Raw Material is Easily Available
CBG is made from:
Crop waste like wheat straw, rice husk
Cow and buffalo dung from dairies and gaushalas
Waste from vegetable markets and food industries
Sewage and wastewater
This means India has plenty of raw material to make CBG.
Conclusion:
CBG is not just fuel—it’s a solution for clean energy, waste management, and rural development. If you’re a farmer, entrepreneur, or investor, this is the right time to look into the CBG business.
