This innovative program invites Expression of Interest (EoI) from potential entrepreneurs for establishing CBG production plants, making CBG available in the market for automotive fuel use. As articulated by the Petroleum Minister during the initiative’s launch, the timing coincides with the Swachhta fortnight, emphasizing a commitment to cleanliness and sustainability. The Minister highlighted that CBG is a cleaner, cost-effective fuel option and outlined the government's plan to establish 5,000 CBG plants over the next five years, offering production offtake guarantees to ensure their viability. The initiative aims not only to increase the availability of affordable transport fuels but also to enhance the utilization of agricultural residue, cattle dung, and municipal solid waste, thus providing farmers with an additional revenue stream and generating 75,000 direct job opportunities alongside numerous indirect jobs.Titled SATAT, which stands for Sustainable Alternative Towards Affordable Transportation, the initiative aligns with broader environmental goals by addressing municipal solid waste management and mitigating urban air pollution stemming from farm stubble burning and carbon emissions. CBG, produced through anaerobic decomposition of waste and biomass, contains high methane content and is chemically similar to commercially available natural gas. This allows it to serve as a renewable alternative automotive fuel, potentially replacing CNG in various applications given India's substantial biomass resources. The benefits of CBG production extend beyond waste management; they include reducing carbon emissions, bolstering the rural economy, supporting climate change commitments, and decreasing reliance on crude oil imports.Under the SATAT initiative, Compressed Bio-Gas plants are primarily established by independent entrepreneurs, who will market the CBG produced at these facilities through existing networks of Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs). IndianOil has already initiated the sale of CBG branded as IndiGreen in select cities, issuing Letters of Intent (LOIs) for 325 plants to produce and supply 0.78 million metric tonnes per annum of CBG. The initiative is supported by various government policies, including the National Policy on Biofuels 2018, which promotes advanced biofuels, and the GOBAR-DHAN scheme aimed at converting organic waste to CBG and compost.Financial assistance for setting up CBG plants includes a Central Financial Assistance (CFA) of Rs. 4 crore per day of CBG produced, capped at Rs. 10 crore per project. The Reserve Bank of India has categorized CBG projects within the 'priority sector' for lending, facilitating easier financing through various banking institutions. Individual states have also formed committees to promote the implementation and monitoring of the SATAT scheme, demonstrating a collaborative approach to fostering CBG initiatives across India.The future potential for CBG production is vast, with various biomass sources—including agricultural residues, municipal waste, and other organic materials—available for conversion to bio-gas. Integrating CBG networks with city gas distribution (CGD) systems can further enhance the availability of this cleaner fuel to domestic and retail consumers. As India moves towards transforming waste into energy, the SATAT initiative stands as a cornerstone in achieving energy self-reliance, combating global warming, and mitigating climate change.
