(PIB)

The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy has been supporting installation of biogas plants in the country through the following schemes:

    1. Small size biogas plants (1-25 mbiogas per day) under New National Biogas and Organic Manure Programme(NNBOMP)
    2. Medium size biogas plants (30-2500 mbiogas per day) under the Biogas based Power Generation (Off-Grid) and Thermal Energy Applications Programme (BPGTP); and
    3. Large size biogas plants (above 2500 mbiogas per day) biogas plants under Programme on Energy from Urban, Industrial, Agricultural Wastes/ Residues and Municipal Solid Waste (Waste to Energy Scheme).

These schemes were valid till 31.03.2021. Beyond 31.03.2021, the Bio-energy Programme of MNRE has been continued for the period of FY 2021-22 to FY 2025-26 only to meet the already created liabilities and no new projects are to be sanctioned. The Central Financial Assistance (CFA) which was being provided under the above schemes when they were being implemented was as follows:-

  1. Rs. 7500/- to Rs. 35,000/- per plant based on size of the plant in cubic meter under

NNBOMP;

  1. Rs. 25,000 /- to Rs. 40,000 /- per kilowatt for power generation and Rs. 12,500 /- to Rs.

20,000/- per kilowatt equivalent for thermal applications under BPGTP; and

  1. Rs 1.0 crore per 12000 mper day for biogas generation and Rs 4.0 Crore per 4800 Kg/day for Bio-CNG generation under Waste to Energy Scheme.

Under the Sustainable Alternative Towards Affordable Transportation (SATAT), Government of India is promoting the production of Compressed Bio Gas (CBG) as an alternative green transport fuel wherein Oil and Gas Marketing Companies (OGMCs) are procuring the produced CBG. This information was given by Union Minister for Power and New and Renewable Energy Shri R.K Singh in a written reply in Lok Sabha today.
