Govt of India has published National Policy on Bio Fuels – 2018 which aims to increase the usage of biofuels in the energy and transportation sectors of the country during the coming decade. CBG Provides Multiple Value-Added Benefits to Society as a Whole:
- Crude reduction & LNG imports huge forex savings
- Utilization, development & promotion of domestic feedstock
- Utilization for production of biofuels
- A substitute to fossil fuels
- Contributes to national energy security
- Climate change mitigation & control in pollution
- Encouragement in application of advanced tech for generation of biofuels
- Financial diversification and risk mitigation through energy sales
- Implementing strong nutrient management practices
- Supporting local processing of agricultural production
- Reducing commercial fertilizer requirements & costs
- Economic development generating crores of rupees of investment in rural communities
- Creation of useful By-products from wastes, acting as a significant economic multiplier
- Capture and use of methane, a greenhouse gas 21-times worse than CO2
- Convert high energy waste streams into fuel, diverting them from landfill
- Control weed seed germination, reducing herbicide use
- Remove odour-causing compounds
SPS BIO-CHEM has undertaken a biofuel project of CBG under SATAT [Sustainable Alternative Towards Affordable Transportation] an initiative of Govt. of India. Waste/Bio-mass sources like sugarcane Press mud, Agricultural residue, Cattle dung, etc. produce CBG through the process of anaerobic decomposition. CBG is purified to remove Hydrogen Sulphide (H2S), Carbon Dioxide (CO2), Water Vapour, and compressed as Compressed Bio-Gas, which has Methane (CH4) content of over 90%. CBG has calorific value and other properties similar to CNG and hence can be utilized as green renewable automotive fuel. Thus, it can replace CNG in automotive, industrial, and commercial areas, given the abundance of biomass availability within the country. CBG produced at our Damla, Yamuna Nagar plant, is transported through cascades (or through pipelines, if feasible) to the retail outlets (fuel stations) networks of OMCs for marketing as a green transport fuel alternative.
