Compressed biogas (CBG), an economical substitute for petrol and diesel based on cow dung, will soon be made available in here.
The Rajasthan Goseva Sangh (Rajasthan cow care centre) has installed the state’s first CBG bottling plant in its premises in Jaipur. Developed on the lines of compressed natural gas (CNG), CBG is made with the help of cow dung and could be used as a cheap fuel substitute for vehicles.
The Rs.1.2 million ($26,000) bottling plant is expected to be inaugurated within the next few weeks.
biogas has been used in india for lighting and kitchen needs for close to a 100 years now. today, there are quite a few biogas power plants active in india, working off of cow dung and invasive plants.
