Engineer, build, and operate Bio-CNG upgrading and compression plants across Karnataka — converting food waste, press mud, and agro-residue into fuel-grade compressed biogas.
Upgrade biogas to compressed natural gas for fleet fuel, industrial heat, and grid injection — engineered for Karnataka feedstock and offtake markets.
Karnataka's mix of urban food waste, sugarcane press mud, dairy cluster effluent, and poultry operations creates abundant feedstock for compressed biogas (CBG) — also marketed as Bio-CNG. Upgrading raw biogas to 95%+ methane unlocks higher-value applications: fuelling CNG vehicle fleets, supplying industrial boilers, and participating in central government SATAT initiatives aimed at reducing imported natural gas dependency.
BIOPOWER engineers complete Bio-CNG value chains — anaerobic digesters, biogas upgrading (water scrubbing, PSA, or membrane systems), compression, storage, and dispensing — tailored to Karnataka's geography and client offtake agreements. We work with food processors near Bengaluru, sugar cooperatives in Mandya and Belagavi, and municipal solid waste projects exploring CBG from segregated wet waste.
Raw biogas from anaerobic digestion typically contains 55–65% methane, 30–40% carbon dioxide, and trace H₂S. Upgrading removes CO₂, moisture, and contaminants to produce fuel-grade compressed biogas meeting IS 16087 specifications. The economics improve significantly when offtake is secured — fleet operators, industrial gas consumers, or oil marketing company tie-ups under SATAT.
Karnataka's renewable energy policy environment and industrial base make it a strong CBG deployment state. Proximity to Bengaluru's logistics corridors, Mangaluru's port-industry belt, and Hubballi's agro-processing hubs creates diverse project profiles. BIOPOWER conducts feasibility studies covering feedstock supply contracts, gas yield modelling, capex/opex projections, and regulatory pathway before ground-breaking.
For clients with existing biogas digesters, we supply upgrading and compression skids that bolt onto current infrastructure — avoiding full greenfield investment while capturing higher fuel value from gas already being produced.

| Feedstock Source | Region | Typical Yield Potential |
|---|---|---|
| Food processing effluent | Bengaluru, Mysuru | High — consistent daily volume |
| Sugarcane press mud | Mandya, Belagavi | High — seasonal with storage |
| Cattle dung | Hassan, Tumakuru | Moderate — cooperative supply chains |
| Poultry litter | Tumakuru, Kolar | Moderate–High — requires pre-treatment |
| Municipal wet waste | Urban ULBs | High — depends on segregation quality |
Replace imported CNG/LPG with renewable compressed biogas from local waste streams.
Logistics and municipal fleets reduce carbon intensity with Bio-CNG dispensing on-site.
Convert a cost centre (waste disposal) into a fuel production asset with secured offtake.
Sugar mills and dairies monetise by-products that previously incurred disposal costs.
Align with SATAT, MNRE, and Karnataka renewable energy objectives for potential incentives.
BIOPOWER provides long-term operation support, gas quality monitoring, and plant optimisation.
Bio-CNG project economics hinge on three variables: secure feedstock at stable cost, guaranteed offtake price, and capital subsidy availability. Karnataka projects near Bengaluru benefit from dense food-waste supply and fleet operators seeking green fuel credentials. Rural agro-industrial projects leverage press mud and dung with lower feedstock cost but require seasonal storage solutions.
BIOPOWER's feasibility reports model 15–20 year cash flows including digestate revenue, tipping fee income from waste acceptance, and O&M costs. We recommend phased investment — digester first, upgrading skid when offtake contracts firm up — for clients managing capital constraints.
Share your feedstock source, daily volume, and offtake interest — we will deliver a preliminary viability assessment.
