Future Prospects of the SATAT Scheme
Compressed Bio-Gas may be made from a variety of biomass/waste sources such as agricultural residue, municipal solid waste, sugarcane press mud, distillery waste wash, animal wastes, and sewage treatment plant waste. Other waste sources include rotten potatoes from cold storage, rotten vegetables, dairy plants, chicken/poultry litter, food manure, horticulture waste, forestry residues, and produced organic waste from industrial effluent treatment plants (ETPs). Compressed Bio-Gas networks can be connected with city gas distribution (CGD) networks in the future to increase supply to domestic and retail customers in existing and emerging markets.
Satat Scheme (Sustainable Alternative Towards Affordable Transportation)
The SATAT initiative on Compressed Bio-Gas (CBG) promotes entrepreneurs to establish CBG facilities, produce CBG, and distribute CBG to Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) for sale as automotive and industrial fuels. The scheme aims to generate compressed biogas (CBG) from waste and biomass sources such as agricultural leftovers, bovine manure, sugarcane press mud, municipal solid waste (MSW), and sewage treatment plant waste. PSU Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) seek Expressions of Interest (EoI) from prospective entrepreneurs to establish CBG facilities under the SATAT program and supply CBG to OMCs for sale as automotive and industrial fuel.
