MUMBAI – Scaling up production of bio-compressed natural gas could address challenges around feedstock constraints, pricing inefficiencies, and investment bottlenecks, and help India achieve its commitment to net-zero emissions, S&P Global Monday said in a report.
"Bioethanol production has taken off and India is on track to achieve its 20% blending target. Scaling up of bio-compressed natural gas production and distribution, and its adoption in the transport sector, however, face multiple challenges and require a structured push," it said.
Despite government support, the biogas sector has made a slow progress. As a result, the target of establishing numerous plants to tap the potential in this sector has not been met. A well-structured framework, combined with targeted incentives, can position bio-CNG as a viable and competitive option in driving India towards a self-reliant and sustainable energy future, the report said.
