India’s Compressed BioGas (CBG) industry is growing rapidly under the SATAT initiative, driven by goals of energy security, waste management, and cleaner mobility. Yet, many CBG plant developers are still leaving significant money on the table by not leveraging one powerful instrument: 👉 Carbon Credits Carbon credits are no longer just an environmental concept — they are a real, bankable revenue stream that can significantly improve the financial viability of CBG projects. Why Carbon Credits Matter for the CBG Industry CBG plants sit at the sweet spot of climate action , because they address emissions at multiple levels: 1️ ) Methane Emission Avoidance Organic wastes like press mud, Napier grass, cow dung, and agri residues naturally decompose and release CH 4 , a greenhouse gas 28 times more potent than CO₂ . CBG plants capture and utilise this methane , preventing its release into the atmosphere. 2️ ) Fossil Fuel Substitution CBG directly repl...
