Uttar Pradesh is emerging as a front runner in India's transition to clean energy.

Abundant resources like pressmud (a sugar industry byproduct), agricultural residue, municipal solid waste, and cattle dung position the state as a prime producer of Compressed Biogas (CBG). This renewable fuel source holds immense potential to reduce reliance on fossil fuels.

By harnessing these readily available feedstocks, Uttar Pradesh can strive for energy selfsufficiency. Furthermore, the state's progressive Bioenergy Policy of 2022 actively incentivizes the development of CBG plants, paving the way for a greener future.

'Future Fuels' delves into the exciting possibilities of CBG production in Uttar Pradesh and its potential impact on the nation's energy landscape.
