India's SATAT Scheme: Pioneering biogas revolution for greener future

India's SATAT scheme, launched six years ago, aims to promote compressed biogas (CBG) as a sustainable fuel alternative. Although the government set a target to establish 5,000 CBG plants by FY 2023-24, only 72 have been commissioned due to the COVID-19 pandemic and limited investor interest. To boost biomass collection, Finance Minister Sitharaman announced financial assistance, allocating Rs 564 crore for biomass machinery from FY24 to FY27. Additionally, starting FY26, a mandatory 1% blending of CBG with CNG will be implemented, which will be increased to 5% by FY29, supporting India’s goal of becoming a net-zero emissions nation by 2070.
