The U.S. EPA, in collaboration with The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI) of India, released an analysis entitled, “Methane Mitigation: Lessons Learned from India’s Compressed Biogas Projects.” This report assesses facilities that mitigate methane emissions by generating compressed natural gas (CNG) from biogas feedstocks, such as livestock manure and agriculture waste, utilizing anaerobic digesters, in India. The report summarizes the developmental and operational challenges for such “Compressed BioGas (CBG)” plants, specifically focusing on the challenges and opportunities that stakeholders face in the development and operation of CBG plants. Recovering methane from agriculture and food waste and converting it to energy resources is critical to methane mitigation efforts in India and energy security in developing countries.
