The history of biogas dates back to 1897 when Charles James, a British civil engineer, established the country’s first biogas plant while working on the homeless leper asylum’s drainage in Matunga, Bombay. Ever since, the green fuel – biogas has been a popular source of energy among Indian households, dairy farms, and community facilities. The […]
RNG (Renewable Natural Gas), SNG (Sustainable Natural Gas), or Biomethane all of these are Synonyms given to clean and sustainable fuel obtained from organic matter found at wastewater treatment plants, landfills, dairy farms, and waste streams. Renewable natural gas contributes significantly in reducing the emissions of greenhouse gas. Scientists globally believe that GHG, like methane, […]
Anaerobic digestion of sewage, agricultural & food waste, manure, and other organic matter generates biogas. It is mainly methane and carbon dioxide. Biogas purification is essential to substitute renewable natural gas for several commercial and industrial applications, including fuel. Compressed biogas plants work by minimizing the contents of carbon dioxide (CO2), hydrogen sulfide (H2S), and […]
Biogas, obtained from organic waste, is a composition of carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and several other gases in small amount. While biogas primarily generates electricity and heat, it needs purification and upgradation to meet the quality standards to be used as fuel for vehicles or injected into natural gas grids. The primary aim of […]
Mumbai- the city of dreams- has massive amounts of waste produced daily. The BMC (Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation), along with Mahanagar gas limited, has proposed to utilise this waste productively by setting up a compressed biogas plant with a capacity to process about 1000 tons of wet waste daily. Before diving into the key aspects and […]
