The Joint Venture plans to establish 8-10 plants across Bihar, Odisha, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal, over the next few years, which offer significant agri biomass potential for CBG production and are aligned with BPCL's existing geographical allocation for city gas distribution. This reduces logistics costs and promotes efficient operations.
The JV agreement was formally signed by Sameet Pai, Head – Corporate Strategy, BPCL and Mainak Chakraborty, CEO and Co-Founder, GPS Renewables in the presence of Sanjay Khanna, Director (Refineries) BPCL and Raj Kumar Dubey, Director (HR) BPCL.
The joint venture will focus on converting organic Biomass waste into Compressed Biogas, a renewable and eco-friendly energy source. By leveraging advanced waste-to-energy technologies, this initiative aims to address critical environmental challenges such as agricultural residue management, greenhouse gas reduction, and sustainable rural development.
It offers a viable solution to stubble burning, a major contributor to air pollution and soil degradation. Additionally, it helps mitigate climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The initiative also promotes sustainable rural development by creating a structured value chain for agri-residue procurement, thereby providing farmers with an additional source of income.
Moreover, this initiative will enhance India’s energy security by reducing dependence on imported fossil fuels, aligning with key government objectives, including GOBARdhan (Galvanizing Organic Bio-Agro Resources Dhan) initiative, which promotes organic bio-agro resources, the Sustainable Alternative Towards Affordable Transportation (SATAT) scheme, which fosters sustainable transportation alternatives, and CBG Blending Obligation (CBO), which encourages clean fuel adoption.
This partnership exemplifies the growing collaboration between public and private sector leaders in fostering innovative and developing sustainable energy solutions to support India's low-carbon future.
