GAIL Gas in Talks to Set up CBG Plant in North Bengaluru

GAIL Gas (GGL) is in talks with the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) to set up a compressed biogas (CBG) plant in north Bengaluru, Karnataka, to utilise segregated organic wet waste.

The company will set up and operate the plant at its own cost.

The plant will have a minimum capacity of processing 75 tonne of wet waste per day. Apart from this plant, it will also set up and operate other infrastructure, such as a CNG station and Cascades (storage system), for utilisation of CBG.

The proposal includes BBMP to provide land free of cost for the plant and related infrastructure, with guarantee to supply minimum 75 tonne of wet waste per day.

GGL is willing to increase capacity up to 300 tpd depending on the assurance they receive from BBMP about the availability of wet waste and land for the plant. The company is awaiting an in-principle approval from BBMP to set up the plant.
