Introduction:
● Biodegradable Compressed Natural Gas
● Biogas is produced from Biomass
● Subsequent Processing gives BIOCNG
● Renewable Source of Energy
● First BIO-CNG plant: Dane County, Wisconsin; December 2010
● Set up by Cornerstone
● First BIOCNG plant of India : Pune;2016 by Primove

Constituents of BioCNG
Head to Head: Biogas vs BioCNG
Preparation:
Processes at the Bio CNG plant:
Biological Desulphurization: To remove H2S by Thiobacillic action
Upgradation:
With Water Scrubbers:
Pressure Swing Adsorption: Used to separate some gas species from a mixture of gases
under pressure with a Zeolite or Coke adsorbent
Compression and Storage:
The Methane laden Gas coming out of Upgradation process is compressed to high
pressures of 20-25 MPa and stored in bottles or storage tanks, ready for dispatch
Properties:
● Colorless and Odorless
● At pressures of 20-25 Mpa
● High Calorific Value of 52KJ/Kg
● Doesn’t produce smoke
● Ignition temperature around 500 degrees Celsius
Advantages and Opportunities:
● Renewable Source of Energy
● High Calorific value, ideal for usage in Automobiles
● Can replace CNG for all practical purposes in the coming years
● Would cost half of what fossil fuels cost once system is up and running
● Large amounts of waste generated in India
Greenhouse gases emissions: (in percentage CO2 equivalents)
Petrol Diesel BioCNG
Superior to BioGas and CNG!
● 167% higher calorific value and nearly 30% more Methane content
● Lesser emissions than BioGas
● Lesser presence of gases like CO2, H2S,moisture and other Impurities
● More efficient production process than BioGas
● Renewable source of energy unlike CNG
Disadvantages and Challenges:
● High Initial Fixed Investment
● Lack of Skilled Professionals
● Lesser Driving range
● Requires a lot of boot space in Vehicles
● Building of Efficient Pipelines for transportation
● Improper Purification can lead to corrosion of metal parts in Vehicles
● Sources of feed materials not consistent
● Lack of proper regulations and checks on Industries
Status Quo in India:
Bio cng
● National Agricultural Cooperative Marketing Federation of India setting up a
plant in Azad Mandi
● Punjab Bureau of Industrial Promotion setting up plant in Ludhiana
● GOI and Maharatna PSUs planning to pump in 70 billion rupees
