How the exam will ask it
ಪ್ರಿಲಿಮ್ಸ್
- Statement: Compressed Biogas is chiefly methane obtained by purifying and compressing biogas from organic waste.
- Statement: GOBARdhan promotes conversion of cattle dung, agricultural residue and food waste into biogas and CBG.
- Statement: Biogas production from biomass contributes to waste management and reduces dependence on imported fossil fuels.
ಮೇನ್ಸ್
GS-III (Economy, Energy and Environment): India's import dependence on fossil fuels exposes it to global price shocks. GOBARdhan addresses this through capital aid and assured offtake for CBG, turning farm and animal waste into fuel. The way forward lies in reliable feedstock supply chains, fair pricing, use of the slurry as organic manure, and expanding CBG blending and distribution.
