SATAT INITIATIVE.◇ The initiative is aimed at providing a
Sustainable Alternative Towards Affordable Transportation (SATAT) as a developmental effort that would benefit both
vehicle-users as well as
farmers and
entrepreneurs.
◇
Compressed Bio-Gas plants are proposed to be set up mainly through independent entrepreneurs.
□ WHAT IS BIO - GAS ?
◇ Bio-gas is produced naturally through a
process of anaerobic decomposition from
waste / biomass sources like
agriculture residue, cattle dung,
sugarcane press mud,
municipal solid waste, sewage treatment plant waste, etc. After purification, it is compressed and called CBG, which has pure methane content of over 95%.
□ WHAT IS COMPRESSED BIO GAS ?
◇ Compressed Bio-Gas is exactly similar to the
commercially available natural gas in its composition and energy potential. With calorific value and other properties similar to CNG, Compressed Bio-Gas can be used as an alternative, renewable automotive fuel.
