there are several initiatives taken by current
leadership and government by various means to reduce emission. Compressed Biogas
(CBG) has also an important role in emission reduction and it is being promoted
by SATAT Scheme (Sustainable Alternative Towards
Affordable Transportation). CBG has higher calorific value and properties
similar to CNG and can be utilized as alternative green renewable
and can replace CNG in automotive, industrial and commercial areas, given the abundance
of biomass availability within the country.
The discussion will

Financing for CBG Industry and Biofuel Policies of different States + CBG
producers on state policies & international experiences.
