India's Annual Compressed Biogas Potential Estimated at 62 Million Metric Tonnes
India has the potential to produce approximately 62 million metric tonnes of compressed biogas annually from 472 million metric tonnes of feedstock, with animal waste contributing about 41% of this potential. Agricultural residues, municipal solid waste, sewage biomass, and sugar mill press mud also offer significant biogas generation opportunities. Challenges include feedstock collection and aggregation. Expanding compressed biogas production could help address environmental issues like stubble burning and reduce reliance on imported gas, according to an Equirus report.
