Compressed Biogas (CBG): A Clean and Sustainable Energy Solution

Compressed Biogas (CBG) is emerging as one of the most promising renewable energy sources in India. It is a purified and compressed form of biogas that offers an eco-friendly alternative to conventional fossil fuels such as CNG, LPG, and diesel. With increasing focus on sustainability, waste management, and energy security, CBG plays a vital role in building a greener future.

At Koshish Sustainable Solutions, we focus on delivering efficient and reliable Compressed Biogas solutions that help industries, farmers, and commercial establishments reduce their carbon footprint while optimizing energy costs.

What is Compressed Biogas (CBG)?

Compressed Biogas is produced by processing biogas generated through the anaerobic digestion of organic waste. Common feedstock includes agricultural residue, cow dung, press mud, food waste, and other biodegradable materials. The raw biogas is purified to remove carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, and moisture, resulting in methane-rich gas. This gas is then compressed to make it suitable for storage and transportation.

The final product has properties similar to natural gas, making it suitable for multiple applications across various sectors.

Importance of CBG in India

CBG supports India’s renewable energy and waste-to-wealth initiatives. It helps address critical challenges such as rising fuel demand, organic waste disposal, and environmental pollution. By converting waste into energy, CBG promotes a circular economy and reduces dependency on imported fossil fuels.

CBG also contributes to lower greenhouse gas emissions, improved air quality, and sustainable rural development.

Key Benefits of Compressed Biogas

Renewable and eco-friendly energy source

Reduces greenhouse gas and methane emissions

Effective solution for organic waste management

Cost-effective alternative to conventional fuels

Supports rural employment and local energy generation

Produces organic manure as a valuable by-product

Applications of CBG

Transportation Fuel

CBG can be used as a clean fuel for vehicles such as buses, trucks, and autos. It can directly replace CNG and helps reduce emissions from the transport sector.

Industrial Energy

Industries can use CBG in boilers, furnaces, and burners for thermal applications. It is suitable for sectors such as food processing, textiles, chemicals, and pharmaceuticals.

Power Generation

CBG can be used in gas engines and generators to produce electricity for industrial plants, commercial facilities, and captive power systems.

Cooking Fuel

Hotels, hostels, industrial kitchens, and institutions can use CBG as a replacement for LPG, ensuring safer and cleaner cooking operations.

Agriculture and Rural Use

CBG supports rural energy needs such as irrigation pumps and farm equipment. The digestate produced during biogas generation serves as high-quality organic fertilizer.

CBG Production Technology

Koshish Sustainable Solutions uses advanced purification and upgrading technologies to ensure high-quality Compressed Biogas production.

VPSA Technology

Vacuum Pressure Swing Adsorption removes impurities by selectively adsorbing carbon dioxide and other gases, producing high-purity methane.

Water Scrubbing

In this process, water absorbs unwanted gases under pressure, allowing methane to be separated efficiently before compression.

These technologies ensure consistent gas quality suitable for industrial and commercial applications.

Raw Materials Used for CBG Production

CBG plants can operate on a wide variety of organic feedstocks, including:

Agricultural waste and crop residue

Bagasse and press mud from sugar industries

Napier grass and other energy crops

Cow dung and poultry waste

Food and organic municipal waste

This flexibility ensures uninterrupted gas production while solving waste disposal challenges.
