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

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.
