India’s Bio CNG: Challenges and Opportunities
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Mechanical and Civil Engineering (IOSR-JMCE) - Year 2018, Vol 15, Issue 2
Abstract
Natural resources (fuels) cannot be prepared in the laboratory. It takes millions of years for dead organisms to get converted into these fuels. Continues usage of these fuels is the major concern of these fuels are fast depleting. Bio CNG is the purified form of biogas, where all the unwanted gases are removed to produce (>95%) pure methane gas. Bio CNG is exactly similar to the commercially available natural gas. In India, we lack fuel resources, so we are dependent on fuel rich countries like Saudi Arabia, UAE and etc. Those countries development is mainly due to highly available fuel resources in there countries. But in India, we are lacking it and the resources are getting exhausted. Considering our future generations, we need to safe guard our resources. A replacement to those exhausting resources can be made by using Bio CNG. We can use many waste products like agricultural and animal residue, for preparing biogas and then petrol, diesel can be replaced by Bio CNG. But using Bio CNG directly in vehicles leads to corrosion of metal parts of the engine, as the biogas may contain impurities even after refinement and compressions. With the limited availability of petroleum products domestically, India is compelled to import over 75 percent of petrol products every year. At that compulsion, we can use Bio CNG. If the Indian Government concentrates on Bio CNG, then there would be reduction in imports of petroleum products, thus saving a huge chunk of foreign exchange every year.
