India has significant potential for CBG production, with ~472 million metric tonnes per annum (MMTPA) of raw materials available, comprising animal wastes, agricultural residue, municipal solid waste (MSW), etc. Around 62 MMTPA of CBG can be produced from these raw materials. Napier grass is also emerging as a sustainable raw material for CBG production, with six harvest cycles annually (a yield of 180-200 tonnes per acre per year).
