Using press mud and bagasse as feedstock for the production of compressed biogas (CBG) in India offers several benefits, both in terms of environmental sustainability and economic viability. Here are some key
advantages:
The anaerobic digestion of press mud and bagasse in biogas plants produces methane, which can be captured and used as CBG. This process helps in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, mitigating the environmental impact associated with the open-field disposal of these waste
materials.
Carbon Credits and Environmental Certifications
CBG production from press mud and bagasse may qualify
for carbon credits and environmental certifications, providing additional financial incentives for projects that
contribute to reducing carbon emissions.
Renewable Energy Generation
Press mud and bagasse are by-products of the sugar industry and are considered renewable resources. Utilizing these waste materials for CBG production contributes to the generation of clean and sustainable energy.
Waste Valorization
Press mud and bagasse are agricultural residues that are often considered as waste. By using them as feedstock for CBG production, there is a significant reduction in the amount of waste generated, leading to efficient waste valorization
