Circular Economy Solutions for Wet Waste Management

What is Compressed BioCNC (CBG)?

Compressed BioCNC (CBG) means the mixture of hydrocarbon gases and vapours consisting mainly of Methane in gaseous form, which has been produced by the decomposition of animal and plant waste, purified and compressed for use as an automotive fuel and industrial application.

Biogas can be compressed after removal of carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulphide, the same way as natural gas is compressed to CNG, and used to power motor vehicles.

Irrespective of technology, producing CBG from biomass involves a two-pronged approach:

Biogas is produced through anaerobic decomposition of biomass.
Since biogas contains 55 to 60 per cent methane, 40 to 45 per cent carbon dioxide (CO2) and trace amounts of hydrogen sulphide.
The second process involves purifying the gas to remove carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulphide gases to prepare CBG.

Benefits of Compressed Bio Gas (CBG)

Organic Renewable Energy

Compressed Bio Gas (CBG) is produced from organic waste material, making it a great renewable energy source. It also reduces use of fossil fuels.

CBG production captures methane – a potent greenhouse gas from decomposing organic matter. When used as a fuel, CBG is a great alternative to traditional fossil fuels like diesel, significantly reducing carbon emissions.

CBG production and distribution create a new business opportunity, especially in rural areas. It can generate new job opportunities. CBG reduces energy costs which is considered to great financial alternative.

Clean Fuel Cycle

The anaerobic digestion process used to produce CBG creates a byproduct called digestate, which is a nutrient-rich organic fertilizer.

Chemically, CBG is the same as CNG both are compressed methane and has the almost same calorific value.

The difference is that while CNG is a by-product of petroleum, CBG can be produced from any biomass.
This makes CBG a commercially viable option as it can be directly used to replace CNG in transportation fuel.
Just like CNG, CBG too can be transported through cylinders or pipelines to retail outlets.
- It is a rich source of silica that not only aids in the growth and yield of crops but also bestows immunity against many diseases and prevents toxic material uptake by plants such as arsenic, cadmium, lead and other heavy metals.
- It can thus help reduce the requirement of chemical fertilisers.
The other by-product is CO2.
- It can be tapped while purifying the biogas and used to produce liquid or solid CO2, which have high demand for food preservation or to be used in fire extinguishers.
CBG and its by-products hold the chance for a circular economic growth.
