New Delhi: The government is targeting at least a 10-fold increase in compressed biogas (CBG) production to 5 million standard cubic metres per day (mmscmd) in the next five to 10 years, Alok Tripathi, Joint Secretary, Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas (MoPNG), said on Tuesday, highlighting the potential of CBG to strengthen India's energy security and reduce import dependence.
"We are targeting 5 mm CFD. There is always a possibility that this production can go up to 10 mm CFD also. That is the kind of potential I see in case of CBG ecosystem," Tripathi said while addressing India Bioenergy and Tech Expo and 3rd International Conference and Exhibition on Bioenergy and Technologies.
