  1. Sugar Mills in India Should Start Producing CBG BioCNG or CBG (Compressed Biogas) is a renewable energy source capable of replacing commercial gases in several sectors. This renewable resource helps India reduce its dependency on fuel imports, boosts the economy, and benefits the environment. Over the years, a lot of sugar mills have been producing BioCNG, significantly contributing to the production of cleaner fuel in the country. Considering the overall benefits BioCNG offers and the potential of sugar mills, Indian mill owners can open their doors to other revenue streams while contributing to the green initiative. According to Mr. Sharad Pawar, the Former Minister for Agriculture and Farmers’ Welfare of India and President of the Vasantdada Sugar Institute (VSI), sugar mills suffering financially from ethanol production restrictions should start producing CBG. Mr. Pawar’s suggestion comes because of the effect of ethanol production limitations on sugar mills across the country. The effect is creating a delicate situation concerning the sale of B-heavy molasses.

  2. The restrictions or limitations on ethanol production from sugarcane or sugarcane juice were imposed on December 7, 2023. According to that, only 1.7 lakh tonnes of sugar can produce ethanol from B-heavy molasses or sugar syrup. As a result, there is a decrease in distillation project capabilities, and managing N-heavy molasses stocks has become more challenging. Mr. Pawar shed light on the government’s mandatory CBG (Compressed Biogas) blending with PNG (Piped Natural Gas) and CNG (Compressed Natural Gas). The policy aims to achieve a 5% CBG mix by the fiscal year 2028-29. He believes that sugar mills have great potential to produce compressed biogas using spent wash and press mud. Considering India’s compressed biogas production capacity is 20 lakh tonnes, Mr. Pawar encourages sugar mills to engage in CBG production and sees it as a reliable alternative to benefit financially. The production can help mills generate a yearly income of around 12,000 crores. Source: https://biogaspurifier.godaddysites.com/f/sugar-mills-in-india-should-start-producing-cbg
