Q. Consider the following statements regarding Bio-CNG:
1. BIO-CNG is the purified form of biogas and comprises more than 93 per cent of pure methane gas.
2. In its composition and energy potential it is different from the commercially available natural gas.
Which of the above given statements is/are correct?

[A] 1 only

[B] 2 only

[C] Both 1 and 2

[D] Neither 1 nor 2

Answer: A
Notes:

Explanation: Bio-CNG 

  • BIO-CNG is the purified form of biogas from which all the unwanted gases are removed to get more than 93 per cent of pure methane gas.
  • Once Bio-CNG fuel is commercially produced and readily available, it has the potential to decrease the import of diesel by up to 50 per cent.
  • In its composition and energy potential it is exactly similar to the commercially available natural gas.
  • India’s first BIO-CNG fuel plant was inaugurated in Pune, Maharashtra.
  • Benefits of BIO-CNG:
  • It will help in reducing the import of diesel up to 50 per cent
  • It is cost-effective
  • It is pollution free
  • Bio CNG can directly replace every utility of LPG and CNG in India. It has the potential to be the future of renewable fuel because of the abundance of biomass in India.
