Government Expands Scheme to Allow CBG Injection into Gas Pipelines.

Amid rising energy supply pressures due to the conflict in West Asia, the government has expanded the CBG-CGD Synchronisation Scheme to allow the injection of compressed biogas (CBG) into the gas pipeline network.

A senior official said the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas (MoPNG) on Wednesday extended the scheme for co-mingling domestic gas for supply to both CNG (transport) and PNG (domestic) segments of city gas distribution (CGD) networks.

The revised guidelines, originally issued in August last year, now formally permit the inclusion of CBG in the pipeline infrastructure, supporting India’s efforts to diversify energy sources and strengthen clean fuel adoption.
