Uttar Pradesh is a major player in India’s renewable energy sector, particularly in compressed biogas (CBG) production, capable of generating 24% of the nation’s CBG. Western Uttar Pradesh, with towns like Muzaffarnagar, Meerut, and Saharanpur, is pivotal due to its rich feedstock. The state has a robust bioenergy policy, allocating Rs. 750 crore from 2022 to 2027, offering subsidies, and promoting best practices. Despite this, challenges such as bioslurry management, inconsistent gas offtake, skilled personnel shortage, and financial barriers persist. Solutions include policy adjustments, diverse feedstocks, farmer involvement, and enhanced government support.
