# Federation seeks CBG blending rule for industrial users 2026-08-14T09:01:36+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets The Indian Federation of Green Energy has urged the petroleum ministry to extend the compressed biogas (CBG) blending obligation from city gas distributors to refineries, petrochemicals, and other large industrial consumers. The body argues that distributors alone cannot bear the cost of scaling up, and that including industrial buyers would boost demand as blending targets rise. The plea comes after the Union Cabinet approved the Rs 23,731 crore GOBARdhan National Circular Bioenergy Scheme, targeting a tenfold increase in CBG production by FY36. Yet infrastructure lags: of 207 CBG plants, only 24 are connected to gas pipelines, while 148 have no connectivity planned, according to a PNGRB report cited by the Economic Times. ## Coverage - energy.economictimes.indiatimes.com - timesofindia.indiatimes.com Tags: CBG blending, GOBARdhan scheme, green energy, India policy, LNG imports, natural gas Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/green-energy-body-seeks-cbg-blending-obligation-for-industry/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
