22 May 2024 CW Team

Adani Total Gas has commenced production at its inaugural compressed bio-gas (CBG) plant, the Barsana Biogas Project, in Uttar Pradesh. This marks a significant milestone in the company's renewable energy initiatives. Located in Mathura district, the plant is designed to process up to 600 tonnes of agricultural waste per day across its three phases, producing over 42 tonnes per day of CBG and 217 tonnes of organic fertiliser upon full completion.

The plant employs advanced anaerobic digestion technology to convert organic materials into renewable biogas, significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions and reliance on fossil fuels. This sustainable approach supports India's goals for fuel security and emission reduction. With a total investment exceeding Rs 200 crore (approximately $24 million), the facility is poised to become India's largest agri-waste-based bio-CNG plant.

Adani Total Gas, a joint venture between Adani Group and TotalEnergies, underscores its commitment to sustainability through this project. Suresh P Manglani, CEO of Adani Total Gas, highlighted the dual benefits of producing CBG and high-quality organic fertiliser, contributing to agricultural sustainability and a circular economy.
