Remember these
- CBG blending in CNG and piped natural gas was 1.7% in the first half of the year
- Target: 3% by the end of the current fiscal, 4% in 2027-28, 5% the year after
- Pipeline connectivity is key to reaching the blending targets
- Compressed biogas (CBG) is produced from organic waste and is chemically similar to natural gas, so it can be blended with CNG and PNG
- CBG falls under clean energy and the push for reduced import dependence on natural gas

How the exam will ask it
ಪ್ರಿಲಿಮ್ಸ್
- Compressed biogas is purified biogas with methane content comparable to natural gas, produced from agricultural residue, cattle dung, sewage and municipal waste.
- The CBG blending schedule rises from 3% in the current fiscal to 4% in 2027-28 and 5% the year after, in CNG and piped natural gas for domestic use.
- Biogas is produced by anaerobic decomposition of organic matter, with methane as its main component.
ಮೇನ್ಸ್
GS3 Economy - Energy: CBG blending stood at 1.7% in H1 against a 3% target for this fiscal, rising to 4% in 2027-28 and 5% after. The blending obligation supports waste-to-energy, farm-residue use and lower gas imports, but depends on pipeline connectivity, plant viability and assured feedstock. The way forward is city gas network integration, stable offtake pricing and decentralised plant financing.
