These plants are expected to produce 15 million tonnes of CBG per annum, which is about 40% of current CNG consumption of 44 million tonnes per annum in the country.

- It will boost entrepreneurship, rural economy and employment and provide an additional source of revenue to farmers.
- Also expected to help achieve the nation’s climate change goals and bring down the dependency on natural gas and crude oil imports. And also act as a buffer against crude oil and gas price fluctuations.
- The Compressed Bio-Gas networks can be integrated with city gas distribution (CGD) networks. Which will boost supplies to domestic and retail users in existing and upcoming markets.
- Besides retailing from OMC fuel stations, Compressed Bio-Gas can at a later date be injected into CGD pipelines too for efficient distribution and optimised access of a cleaner and more affordable fuel.
