“This agreement is a step forward towards integration of sustainable practices in energy distribution. We are proud to collaborate with GAIL and IAV Biogas Pvt. Ltd. in bringing cleaner fuel solutions to the forefront. This step not only aligns with our strategic vision but also contributes to India’s mission of becoming a greener and more self-reliant energy nation.”
The CBG-CGD Synchronization Scheme, launched by the Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas (MoPNG), aims to promote the blending of CBG with natural gas across the CGD network, while contributing to India’s Net-Zero and climate action goals. Efficient utilization of agri-residues and organic waste for Bio-gas production supports Sustainable Alternative Towards Affordable Transportation (SATAT) scheme of MoPNG besides complying mandatory blending obligation of the company.
Under this agreement, IRM Energy Limited will offtake upto 3000 SCMD of CBG from IAV Biogas Pvt. Ltd. for distribution through its CGD network in the Namakkal and Tiruchirappalli districts.
