In a major step towards enhancing use and adoption of compressed bio-gas (CBG), the government has introduced phase wise mandatory blending of CBG in CNG (Transport) & PNG (Domestic) segments of CGD sector. The key objectives of the CBG Blending Obligation (CBO) are to stimulate demand for CBG in CGD sector, import substitution for Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG), saving in Forex, promoting circular economy and to assist in achieving the target of net zero emission etc.
As per the notification released by the Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas, CBO will be voluntary till FY 2024-2025 and mandatory blending obligation would start from FY 2025-26; CBO shall be kept as 1%, 3% and 4% of total CNG/PNG consumption for FY 2025-26, 2026- 27 and 2027-28 respectively. From 2028-29 onwards CBO will be 5% and a Central Repository Body (CRB) shall monitor and implement the blending mandate based on the operational guidelines approved by Minister, PNG.
Meanwhile, another important announcement was made by the government for promoting biofuels in the country. Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF/Bio- ATF) initial indicative blending percentage targets were set by the committee.
