New Delhi, Sept. 13 -- India has the potential to produce around 62 million metric tonnes (MMT) of compressed biogas (CBG) annually from an estimated 472 MMT of feedstock, with animal waste alone accounting for nearly 41 per cent of the total potential, according to an Equirus report.

The report noted, "India has an estimated 472 million metric tonnes (MMT) annual feedstock potential," which is equivalent to ~62 MMT of annual CBG potential.

Within this, animal waste represents the largest opportunity, with about 190 MMT of waste capable of producing nearly 25 MMT of CBG, "41% of national CBG potential, but only c.15% of gross dung is collectable," however, the country needs dense rural clusters to achieve this target.
