India's Biogas Revolution: Uniting Government Initiatives for a Greener Future

The Indian Biogas Association (IBA) calls for the integration of government biogas initiatives into a single national mission. Aiming to boost large-scale deployment, the IBA recommends nationwide CBG blending, a green certificate ecosystem, and promoting biogas for rural energy access through incentives and workforce empowerment.

The Indian Biogas Association (IBA) has urged the integration of government initiatives related to the biogas sector into a cohesive national mission.

In a white paper launched by Union Minister Nitin Gadkari, the IBA advocated for unification and suggested key recommendations like phase-wise CBG blending, a green certificate ecosystem, and the enhancement of biogas infrastructure.

The paper emphasized incentivizing rural energy access and sustainable waste management to foster energy equity and a circular economy. Despite current challenges, the IBA highlights the tremendous potential of biogas to alleviate India's energy import dependency and environmental vulnerabilities.
