Sir,
This has reference to CPCB letter dated 30.04.2020 on the above-mentioned subject, wherein ‘Compressed/refined bio-gas production from bio-degradable waste’ was categorized under Orange Category of industries.
Subsequently, CPCB was in the receipt of representations from various stakeholders with a request to revisit the categorization of Compressed Bio-Gas (CBG) plants in light of the notifications issued by the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare vide Gazette Notification No. 2051 dated 14.07.2020 and No. 1972 dated 01.06.2021 regarding inclusion of Fermented Organic Manure (FOM) and Liquid Fermented Organic Manure (LFOM) under Fertilizer (Inorganic, Organic or Mixed) (Control) Act, 1985.
In view ofthe above notifications and to promote the cleaner sources of energy, CPCB revisited the categorization of CBG plants. Accordingly, CBG plants producing FOM & LFOM as by products in conformity with requirements of Gazette Notification No. 2051 dated 14.07.2020 & No. 1972 dated 01.06.2021, respectively, and utilizing entire FOM & LFOM as a fertilizer or manure on land and also not discharging any waste-water, are to be considered under White category, subject to verification by SPCB on case-to-case basis. The aforesaid criteria may be re-assessed based on ground conditions after a period of two years. CBG plants which do not fall in the aforesaid category are to be categorized based on the type of feed-stocks being used. CBG plants based on animal waste and crop residue as feedstock are categorized under green category. CBG plants based on Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) and process waste as feedstock are categorized under Orange Category.
In addition, Household bio-digesters/gobar-gas (cow-dung) plants based on biodegradable wastes, etc. with feed slurry to digesters having Volatile Organic Fraction more than 75 %, are to be considered under White’ category.
The details of categorization of ‘Compressed Biogas (CBG)/Bio-CNG plants’ and ‘Household bio-digesters/gobar-gas (cow-dung) plants based on biodegradable wastes, etc.’ are enclosed.
The aforementioned revised categorization shall supersede the earlier categorization of ‘Compressed/Refined Bio-gas production from bio-degradable waste’, issued vide directions dated 30.04.2021.
