The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) has launched initiatives to promote small-scale biogas projects. This move underlines MNRE's commitment to fostering sustainable energy solutions and expanding renewable energy access across India.

The small biogas projects aim to leverage organic waste for the generation of biogas, contributing to both waste management and energy production objectives. By encouraging the adoption of biogas technology at the grassroots level, MNRE seeks to address environmental concerns while providing clean energy alternatives to rural communities.

These initiatives align with India's broader renewable energy goals and support the government's efforts to promote decentralised energy generation and rural development. By promoting small biogas projects, MNRE aims to enhance energy access, reduce dependence on traditional fuels, and mitigate greenhouse gas emissions.

Overall, MNRE's initiatives to promote small biogas projects signify a significant step towards sustainable energy development in India. By tapping into the potential of biogas technology, MNRE aims to create opportunities for economic growth, environmental conservation, and energy security at the local level.
