In the realm of sustainable initiatives, the Galvanising Organic Bio-Agro Resources Dhan (GOBARdhan) has emerged as a beacon. This section provides an overview of the current landscape, with 536 Compressed Biogas (CBG) Plants and 1193 Biogas Plants registered on the Unified Registration Portal.
Delving into recent developments, the budget of 2023 revealed plans for 500 new “waste to wealth” plants, investing a substantial Rs. 10,000 Crore. A closer look at the FY 2023-24 performance showcases the establishment of 198 plants, featuring 12 CBG plants and 186 biogas plants. Additionally, 556 plants are in progress, comprising 129 CBG plants and 427 biogas plants.
Unraveling the essence of GOBARdhan, the aim is crystal clear — transform biodegradable/ organic waste into valuable resources like biogas, compressed biogas (CBG), and organic manure. Under the stewardship of the Ministry of Jal Shakti, GOBARdhan strives for environmental and economic impact.
Dive into the proactive steps taken to fuel the success of GOBARdhan. From the inclusion of CBG in carbon credit trading to excise duty exemptions on CNG blended with CBG, each initiative is a strategic move towards sustainability. The Market Development Assistance (MDA) Scheme incentivizes the sale of Fermented Organic Manure, further boosting organic farming.
One of the pivotal strategies embraced is the mandatory 5% CBG blending in Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) and PNG (Domestic) segments. The National Biofuel Coordination Committee’s approval underscores a commitment to strengthening CBG production and consumption.
Unveiling the technological backbone of GOBARdhan, the Unified Registration Portal simplifies the nationwide registration of CBG and biogas plants. Developed by the Department of Drinking Water and Sanitation, it streamlines the process, ensuring efficiency.
Moving into the specifics of Compressed Biogas (CBG), understanding its production process, purification, and compression is crucial. CBG, produced through anaerobic decomposition, stands out for its high methane content after purification. Notably, it mirrors commercially available natural gas both in composition and energy potential.
Unlocking its energy potential, CBG emerges as a renewable automotive fuel, boasting a calorific value akin to Compressed Natural Gas (CNG). This positions CBG as a viable alternative in the pursuit of sustainable transportation.
In conclusion, the GOBARdhan initiative, bolstered by the surge in CBG and biogas plants, signifies a paradigm shift towards sustainable waste management and energy generation. The symbiotic relationship between technology, policy, and environmental consciousness paves the way for a greener future.
