Mumbai Gets Greener: Mahanagar Gas Leads the Way with ₹500 Crore CBG Project

The Compressed Biogas (CBG) Project in Mumbai, Maharashtra, by Mahanagar Gas Limited will pioneer a new environmental endeavor. This 500-crore project will transform the region's energy landscape. The project produces 1000 tons per day (tpd) of compressed biogas to reduce fuel use in the busy urban area.

CBG is an energy and sustainable urban development project. Waste management and sustainable fuel generation will be addressed by converting organic waste like agricultural leftovers, livestock manure, and municipal solid waste into energy. This reduces the city's massive waste management burden and deters methane emissions from untreated waste, helping mitigate climate change.

In suburban Mumbai, the CBG facility is near biomass sources and biogas markets. Transportation costs and emissions are reduced by this strategic position, boosting the project's environmental benefits. The biogas will fuel public transit and industrial machines, which contribute to urban air pollution, reducing their carbon footprint.

At Mahanagar Gas Limited, cutting-edge biogas generation technology is promised. Anaerobic digestion optimizes methane-rich biogas production and breaks down organic materials. With cutting-edge purification technologies, this method should provide high-quality biogas for commercial use.
