Indraprastha Gas Limited (IGL) has signed memoranda of understanding (MoUs) with two technology partners during India Energy Week 2024 to establish 19 compressed biogas (CBG) plants across four states: Delhi, Haryana, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh.
Additionally, IGL has already empanelled two other partners for the same purpose. The biogas produced from these 19 plants shall be fed into IGL’s city gas distribution (CGD) network.
These MoUs were signed in the presence of Praveen Mal Khanooja, Additional Secretary of the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas (MoPNG); K.K. Chatiwal, Managing Director of IGL; Pawan Kumar, Director (Commercial) of IGL; other senior officials, and mediapersons.
Addressing the audience on the occasion, Khanooja appreciated IGL for its role in nation building.
This partnership aims to produce 0.45 MMSCMD (million metric standard cubic meters per day) of biogas from waste, equivalent to approximately 5% of IGL's daily requirements.
This MoUs promise to be a win-win situation for stakeholders like municipal authorities, CGD entities, farmers, and the public at large. While municipal authorities will get rid of municipal waste, farmers will be able to dispose of agricultural waste, CGD entities will get cheaper gas and public shall get a cleaner environment.
