Advisory on CBG Plants Based on Municipal Solid Waste

This advisory aims to provide structured technical, operational, and financial guidance to Urban Local Bodies (ULBs), elected representatives, and private sector stakeholders involved in planning, implementing, and managing biomethanation facilities. It outlines key considerations for decision-making, offers clarity on capital and operational expenditures, and assessment of long-term sustainability. To aid practical understanding, the advisory also presents case studies from across India, highlighting successful models with proven technical and financial viability. As Compressed Biogas (CBG) represents a convergence point for India’s ambitions in clean energy, waste valorisation, rural livelihood generation, and climate resilience, this advisory serves as a strategic tool to help scale CBG initiatives across the country in a systematic and outcome-oriented manner.
