India: The Potential of Biogas from the Dairy Sector
Market and policy
India is a rapidly growing market for biogas and biomethane, thanks to its huge biomass potential. With more than 300 million cattle and buffaloes, the dairy sector generates large amounts of manure every day. Using this resource can help produce renewable energy and organic fertilisers, while reducing dependence on imports. The continuous availability of manure also makes it a stable feedstock, unlike seasonal agricultural biomass. According to estimates, manure alone could cover 40–50% of India’s energy needs.But what is needed to unlock this huge potential? Find out in the video.
