Adani and RIL to set up compressed biogas plants

Adani New Industries (ANIL) and Reliance Industries (RIL) are planning to set up two compressed biogas (CBG) plants each. ANIL plans to set up a 40-million tonne per annum (mtpa) plant in Uttar Pradesh and Gujarat, while RIL is still formalising the location for two similar capacity units. The companies will invest up to Rs 500- Rs600 crore each to build these units. CBG is produced by anaerobic decomposition of agricultural waste, sugarcane press mud, and municipal waste. CBG is also being considered to produce green hydrogen and could be used as a replacement for piped natural gas for domestic use.
