CBG Production from MSW: Technical Overview

Dr. Alok Gupta, Dr Sunil Vikram Desale

Abstract: The production of Compressed Biogas (CBG) from Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) has emerged as a promising approach to manage waste sustainably while generating a clean and renewable energy source. This innovative solution addresses two critical challenges facing urban areas: waste management and energy production. By harnessing the potential of MSW, CBG production offers a win-win situation, reducing the environmental and health impacts of waste disposal while generating a valuable energy resource. The potential benefits of CBG production from MSW are substantial. Not only does it provide a renewable energy source, but it also reduces dependence on fossil fuels, mitigates climate change, and promotes sustainable waste management. In India, where waste management is a significant challenge, CBG production from MSW offers a promising solution. However, the implementation of CBG production from MSW in India faces several challenges, including high capital costs, technological complexities, and regulatory hurdles. In India, where waste management is a significant challenge, CBG production from MSW offers a promising solution. The country generates a substantial amount of MSW, which can be leveraged to produce CBG. Moreover, India's growing energy demand and government initiatives to promote renewable energy and sustainable waste management create a favorable environment for CBG production from MSW. By leveraging the potential of MSW and addressing the challenges, India can promote sustainable development, reduce its environmental footprint, and create a cleaner and healthier environment for its citizens. With the right policies and technologies in place, CBG production from MSW can play a significant role in India's transition to a more sustainable and renewable energy-based economy.
