Engineering Bio-CNG from Wastewater with Innovation, Experience & Global Excellence
The energy world is transforming rapidly. As nations commit to decarbonization, the demand for renewable and sustainable fuels is at an all-time high. One solution stands out as a game-changer—Bio-CNG (Compressed Biogas).
Â
Unlike other renewable fuels, Bio-CNG has a unique ability to address multiple challenges simultaneously: managing waste, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, generating clean energy, and creating a sustainable revenue stream. And when derived from wastewater treatment plants (STPs), its potential multiplies—turning what was once considered waste into a high-value product with immense economic and environmental benefits.
Â
With our century-long legacy in water and wastewater management and decades of expertise in biogas generation, we are leading this transformation. Having already generated renewable electricity from wastewater-derived biogas at numerous plants worldwide, we are now advancing to the next stage—offering world-class Bio-CNG solutions that maximize value, efficiency, and sustainability.

Why Bio-CNG from Wastewater is the Future
Â
Bio-CNG produced from wastewater offers advantages that go beyond traditional renewable energy solutions:
- Sustainability: Capturing methane from sewage and converting it into Bio-CNG reduces emissions, protects the environment, and contributes to climate commitments.
- Scalability: Every STP has untapped energy potential. By integrating Bio-CNG facilities, cities can transform their wastewater plants into renewable energy hubs.
- Higher Value Product: Compared to direct electricity generation, Bio-CNG is more versatile and commercially valuable. It can be used as a transportation fuel, industrial energy source, or grid injection substitute for natural gas.
- Revenue Potential: With steadily growing demand for clean mobility and industrial fuel, Bio-CNG presents municipalities, utilities, and industries with a reliable new revenue stream.
- Energy Security for the Nation: By substituting imported CNG and LNG with domestically produced Bio-CNG, it reduces dependency on fossil fuel imports and supports India’s energy independence.
