What is CBG?

A sustainable energy solution built on organic waste.

Compressed Bio-Gas is derived through the anaerobic digestion of agricultural residue, animal manure, food waste and municipal organic waste. The result is a high-purity, methane-rich fuel that directly replaces fossil CNG and LPG across transportation, power generation, industrial heating and cooking — while turning India's waste problem into a distributed, revenue-generating asset.

  • Anaerobic digestion of organic waste
  • High-purity methane fuel (95%+ CH₄)
  • Direct drop-in for fossil CNG & LPG
  • Year-round local supply chain

Production Process

From waste to premium fuel
in five engineered steps.

01
Step 01

Feedstock Collection & Pre-treatment

Agricultural residue, cattle dung, poultry litter, food waste and municipal organic waste are collected, sorted and pre-treated to remove impurities and inert matter.

02
Step 02

Anaerobic Digestion

The prepared slurry is fed into oxygen-free digesters where microbial communities break it down over 25–40 days, producing raw biogas (55–65% methane) and digestate.

03
Step 03

Purification & Upgrading

Raw biogas is scrubbed of CO₂, H₂S and moisture through membrane or PSA technology, upgrading it to pipeline-grade CBG with 95%+ methane purity.

04
Step 04

Compression & Bottling

Purified biomethane is compressed to ~250 bar and filled into cascades, ready for dispatch to OMC retail outlets, industrial off-takers and captive fleets.

05
Step 05

Distribution & Off-take

SATAT-aligned off-take agreements with IOC, BPCL and HPCL — plus direct B2B supply to industrial and municipal customers.

Why choose CBG

Eight reasons CBG is India's most strategic clean-fuel bet.

Environmental, economic and social returns — all engineered into a single distributed asset.

GHG Reduction

Captures methane that would otherwise vent from decomposing waste — cutting the equivalent of thousands of tonnes of CO₂ annually per plant.

Cleaner Air

Far fewer particulates, NOₓ and toxic emissions than diesel or fossil CNG — measurable improvements in local air quality.

Local Resource Utilisation

Uses agricultural and municipal waste available within a 25–50 km radius, ending dependence on imported fossil fuels.

Energy Diversification

Adds a renewable, distributed source to India's fuel mix, shielding operators from global oil-price volatility.

Rural Job Creation

Creates 40–120 direct jobs per plant plus a wide supply-chain employment footprint in villages where feedstock originates.

New Revenue for Farmers

Farmers earn ₹1,500–3,000 per tonne for crop residue instead of burning it — converting stubble into cash.

Fermented Organic Manure (FOM)

Digestate byproduct is bagged as premium FOM/LFOM — a nutrient-rich fertiliser sold to farmers, adding a second revenue stream.

SATAT Offtake Security

Central government's SATAT scheme guarantees a 15-year off-take price with OMCs, de-risking the project's revenue side.

Applications

Four sectors. One fuel.

Transportation Fuel

Drop-in replacement for CNG in cars, buses, trucks and 3-wheelers at OMC retail outlets.

Industrial Heating

Substitutes LPG, diesel and furnace oil across steel, ceramic, food-processing and glass units.

Power Generation

Feeds gas gensets for grid-tied or captive electricity — including microgrids for rural distribution.

Domestic Cooking

Piped biogas distribution to nearby residential and commercial kitchens (PNG-equivalent).

The Ziloxis 5-stage CBG value chain

Receive → Prepare → Digest → Purify → Deliver.

01
Receive

Feedstock Receiving & Aggregation

Weigh-bridge tagged intake from farmer FPOs, dairy clusters, mandis and MSW contractors. Every consignment is quality-graded (moisture, TS/VS, inerts) before entering the pre-treatment yard.

02
Prepare

Mechanical & Hydrolytic Prep

Shredders, screw-presses and hydro-mixers homogenise the substrate to a target 8 – 12% total solids. Grit, plastic and glass are removed on inclined-screw separators to protect digesters.

03
Digest

Mesophilic Anaerobic Digestion

CSTR / plug-flow digesters run at 37 – 40 °C over a 30 – 45 day HRT. Real-time SCADA tracks pH, alkalinity, VFA and gas rate — with automated recirculation and micronutrient dosing.

04
Purify

Biogas Upgrading to Pipeline-Grade CBG

Raw biogas (55 – 65% CH₄) is scrubbed via H₂S adsorbers and upgraded through VPSA / membrane / water-scrubbing to 95%+ methane — matching CGD grid specification and OMC dispatch norms.

05
Deliver

Compression, Bottling & Dispatch

CBG is compressed to ~250 bar into cascade cylinders or piped into CGD networks. Every dispatch carries batch-wise assay + carbon-credit metadata for SATAT settlement and Article 6 registries.

Biogas upgrading technology

From raw biogas
to pipeline-grade CBG.

Ziloxis engineers pick the right upgrading train per plant — from VPSA molecular sieves to membrane and amine towers.

5 – 40 TPD · low-water zones

VPSA (Vacuum Pressure Swing Adsorption)

Molecular-sieve adsorbers cyclically capture CO₂ under pressure and release it under vacuum. Outputs 96 – 99% CH₄, tolerates variable loads, and delivers the lowest methane slip (< 1%) — the go-to choice for 5 – 40 TPD Ziloxis plants.

2 – 15 TPD · modular sites

Membrane Separation

Multi-stage polymeric membranes selectively pass CO₂/H₂O while retaining CH₄. Compact skid-mounted footprint and rapid startup — ideal for containerised deployments and remote agri clusters.

10 – 50 TPD · water-rich sites

Water Scrubbing

High-pressure water absorbs CO₂ and H₂S in a packed tower. Robust and forgiving of contamination — best suited to sugar-mill / distillery co-located plants where process water is already available.

20 – 100 TPD · CGD grid injection

Amine (Chemical) Scrubbing

Selective amine solvents strip CO₂ down to < 1% — highest CBG purity (99%+). Reserved for pipeline-grade injection into CGD grids and specialty industrial off-take.
