Gautam Adani-led Adani New Industries (ANIL) and MukeshAmbani-led Reliance Industries (RIL) are planning to set up two compressed biogas (CBG) plants each, senior executives aware of the developparment said.
ANIL intends to build a 40 million tonne per year (mtpa) plant in Gujarat and Uttar Pradesh, while RIL is currently finalising the site of two units with a comparable capacity. For the construction of these plants, the corporations will each invest up to 500–600 crore.
Senior executive of an oil marketing company: “Adani and RIL are both intending to join the industry with numerous plants.” ET’s email requesting comment from ANIL and RIL received no response.
Municipal trash, sugarcane press mud, and agricultural waste are all decomposed anaerobically to form CBG.
CBG is also being considered to produce green hydrogen and could be used as a replacement for piped natural gas for domestic use.
