ASSESSING THE CURRENT STATUS AND FUTURE PROSPECTS OF COMPRESSED BIOGAS

It delves into the challenges hampering the growth of the CBG sector. This includes an analysis of various obstacles, such as the inconsistency in available feedstocks and the complexities of regulations governing the industry. Next, the research evaluates the viability and effectiveness of different biomass-based feedstocks for CBG production. It explores a range of sources, including agricultural residues and animal manure, and insights into the role these feedstocks can play in India's transition to cleaner energy sources. Lastly, employing a multidisciplinary approach, the study examines the environmental and social benefits of CBG plants. This includes assessing factors like the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, effectiveness in waste management, and potential enhancements to rural livelihoods. By addressing these objectives, this research endeavours to inform policymakers, industry stakeholders, and researchers, thereby paving the way for sustainable energy solutions. Ultimately, it aims to contribute to India's energy security and environmental stewardship journey towards sustainable development and net zero goals.
