Recently, Asia’s largest Compressed Bio Gas (CBG) plant was inaugurated in Lehragaga, in Punjab’s Sangrur.
The plant has been commissioned with a foreign direct investment of approximately Rs. 220 crores by Verbio AG, one of Germany’s leading bio-energy companies.
The plant will consume 100,000 tonnes of paddy straw, which will be procured from six to eight satellite locations within a 10km radius of the plant.
There shall be daily production of about 600-650 tons of FOM (fermented organic manure), which can be used for organic farming.
It will help cut down the need for stubble burning in 40,000 – 45,000 acres of fields, translating into an annual reduction of 150,000 tons of carbon dioxide emissions
