This document provides an overview of biogas including different feedstocks, potential, socio-economic benefits, and upgradation methods. It notes that biogas can be generated from various agricultural and food waste sources. The annual potential for biogas generation in India is estimated to be over 20 billion cubic meters, which could produce over 8 million tons of bio-CNG or over 5,000 MW of power. Developing biogas would provide socio-economic benefits like reducing women's workload and generating organic fertilizer. The document also outlines various government programs and subsidies to support biogas development in India.

2. Traditional Indian lifestyle of people focused on environment friendliness
ॐ सर्वे भर्वन्तु सुखिनः । सर्वे सन्तु ननरामयाः । र्वसुधेर्व क

21st Century – Environmental issues – in air, water, soil, health, agriculture etc
• Age-old traditions symbolize respect towards
environment
- many trees are considered sacred and are
worshipped
- some rivers and mountains are considered holy
- animals are worshipped too e.g. snakes, cows etc.
• Due to less technological development and
penetration, day-to-day functions were sourced from
locally-available resources e.g. biomass was a source
of energy in every household
• Water conservation and management has been a
household practice since Harappan times
• In general, living in harmony with the environment
was a way of life

3. Present lifestyle calls for a mega-shift to
sustainable energy sources
• Over Exploitation of resources, Green House Gases, climate change, SDGs
and Green Technologies
• Over-exploitation of resources is common without putting measures in
place to replenish them e.g. large scale deforestation for settlements,
mining etc.
• Commonly used energy sources comprise coal and oil, which meet 74% of
our energy demand today
• Pollution, global warming, greenhouse gas emissions, centralized
technologies and urban development models are ringing alarm bells
• As a result, natural calamities are increasingly making news such as disease
outbreaks, pandemics, flash floods, cyclones, earthquakes, landslides,
animal extinction etc.
There is an urgent need to move to sustainable energy solutions keeping
environmental priorities in mind.

Rectify - problems experienced with brick and metal digesters.
Material - Neoprene coated nylon
- PVC
- RMP – Red mud plastic (produced from the
residue from aluminum refineries)
The membrane digester is extremely light
Can be installed easily by excavating a shallow trench,
slightly deeper than the radius of the digester.
Simple construction, prefabricated, digester cost is low.

38. Raw Biogas Upgraded Biogas
• A low Grade fuel (CH4 55-65 % &
CO2 35-45 %) with lower
percentage of methane.
• Mode of utilisation
• The presence of CO2 besides
being non combustible,
restrains its compressibility
there by making biogas
difficult to be stored in
containers.
• A high grade fuel (CH4 > 90 % and
< 10 % other gases) with high
percentage of methane.
• Mode of utilisation
• Remote applications
• Methane burns faster hence
yields a higher specific output
and thermal efficiency
compared to raw biogas when
used as engine fuel.
• Upgrading , compression and
bottling facilitates easy storage
and transportation as a vehicle
fuel

a cooking fuel

40. Compression of Biogas
• The energy density of upgraded biogas is comparatively low at ambient pressure and as a
result it must be compressed at high pressures (e.g. 200-250 bar) to allow its sufficient
storage in bottles/cylinders.
• Biogas Compression
• reduces storage space requirements,
• concentrates energy content and
• increases pressure to the level needed to overcome resistance to gas flow.
• Compression can eliminate the mismatch of pressures and guarantee the efficient
operation of the equipment.

It will help in increasing confidence of investors, infusing more finances and expanding
business in biogas sector manifold. Upgraded biogas delivered to any vehicle, stationary
engine or piped network shall comply to the following standards.

on agricultural land as a fertiliser, thereby replacing manmade
artificial fertilisers and/or soil conditioners.
• Enhanced soil quality
• Increased crop yields
