Government’s Policy to promote Biogas Technology

The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy is promoting settingup of biogas plants under three Central Sector Schemes –

i. National Biogas and Manure Management Programme(1 M3 to 6 M3 per day).

ii. Biogas Power Generation (off‐grid) Programme :Setting up of biogas plants in the size range of 25 m3 to2000 m3 per day or 3kW to 250 kW power generation frombiogas or thermal applications.

iii. Waste to Energy recovery programme :Setting up of large size biogas plants to recover energy fromUrban, Industrial and agriculture wastes /residues.

• Launched as NPBD in 1981. Renamed as NBMMP in 2003-04.

• Estimated potential of biogas plants : 120 lakh Nos.• Cumulative achievement so far : 49.15 lakh

(up to March, 2015)• Potential harnessed : 40.96 %

• 12th Plan:Target : 6.50 lakh plantsAchievement (March, 2015) : 2.86 lakh plants

Biogas

i. Biogas is produced from organic wastes such as cattledung, human excreta and other organic wastes throughanaerobic digestion (AD)

ii. Biogas is a clean fuel for cooking and other energy uses.

iii. Biogas slurry is a good quality manure

iv. Different models (fixed dome & floating dome) havebeen developed indigenously

National Biogas and Manure Management Programme

Objectives:

• To provide clean gaseous fuel mainly for cooking and lighting purposes.

• To provide organic manure to reduce use of chemical fertilizers;

• To mitigate drudgery of rural women, reduce pressure on forests and accentuate social benefits;

• To improve sanitation in villages by linking sanitary toilets with biogas plants;

• To mitigate Climate Change by preventing black carbon and methane emissions.

Through designated agencies for implementation of NBMMP

(i) State Government/ Union Territories Departments(ii) State Government/ Union Territories Agencies(iii) Khadi and Village Industries Commission in all States(iv) Plan for implementation of following “cluster area of villages/block/

districts approach”. Implementation approach through entrepreneurs mode.(v) Implementation activities for implementation are monitored through

Monthly and Quarterly Progress Reports. (vi) Submission of final claims, Audited Statements of Expenditure (SoE),

pending audit reports upto the 30th Septemeber following the closure of the Financial Year.
