Planning and Design for Commercialization of Biogas Bottling Plant for Production of Green and Low-Cost Fuel with Utilization of Biomass Resources

Keeping in view the energy shortage in the country there is a need to tap biomass resources such as cattle dung, kitchen waste, agricul- tural waste etc. for generation of biogas through the involvement of entrepreneurs and industries to set up decentralized biogas based energy infrastructure in the country, at the potential sites where biomass available is plenty. Under technology demonstration of new RDD&D Policy of Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE), the Ministry took up a new initiative for bottling of biogas to demonstrate an Integrated Technology-package in entrepreneurial mode on medium size mixed feed biogas-fertilizer plants (BGFP) for generation, purification/enrichment, bottling and piped distribution of biogas. Installation of such plants aims at meeting stationary and motive power, cooling, refrigeration and electricity needs in addition to cooking and heating requirements. There could be a huge potential of installation of medium size biogas-fertilizer plants in the country. Under this review paper work detailed studies will be conducted for analyzing the commercialization of biogas bottling plant for green and low-cost fuel in India.
