ముఖ్య వాస్తవాలు
Remember these
- Delhi CM Rekha Gupta inaugurated a 200 tonnes-per-day (TPD) biogas plant at Goyla Dairy on 19 October 2026
- Biogas plants convert organic waste into fuel and manure
- Biogas is produced by anaerobic digestion and is mainly methane and carbon dioxide
- GOBARdhan (2018) promotes converting cattle dung and organic waste into biogas and compost
- SATAT (2018) encourages Compressed Biogas (CBG) production and its sale as an automotive and industrial fuel

How the exam will ask it
ప్రిలిమ్స్
- Biogas is produced by the anaerobic decomposition of organic matter, and its main combustible component is methane.
- The slurry left after biogas generation (digestate) can be used as organic manure.
- Waste-to-energy plants help reduce landfill load and methane emissions from decomposing waste.
మెయిన్స్
GS-III (Environment, renewable energy) and GS-II (urban governance): Urban organic waste and dairy waste overload landfills and emit methane; biogas plants turn this into fuel and manure under schemes such as GOBARdhan and SATAT. The implication is lower landfill burden and cleaner energy for cities, but success depends on source segregation, steady feedstock and a market for gas and manure. The way forward is wider decentralised plants, strict segregation and assured offtake of compressed biogas.
