Compressed Bio Gas · Uttar Pradesh
Turning the waste of Uttar Pradesh's fields and mills into clean fuel
Panchvati Foods builds and runs compressed biogas (CBG) plants that turn sugar-mill pressmud and cattle dung into vehicle-grade bio-CNG, organic manure and biomass pellets. Nothing goes to waste, and every by-product returns to the farm.

Where we are today
GAIL term sheet executed
GAIL (India) Ltd. agrees terms to purchase our biogas and CBG for city gas.
Three clusters under development
Hardoi, Sitapur and Ayodhya: together 23.5 TPD of CBG.
Expanding west and north
Muzaffarnagar, Lakhimpur Kheri and Pilibhit: a further 23.5 TPD.
Who we are
We live to turn waste into worth, for farmers, mills and the planet
Bio-CNG is a renewable alternative to fossil CNG. It is made by letting bacteria digest organic waste without oxygen, then cleaning and compressing the biogas they produce.
Uttar Pradesh is the right place to do it at scale: India's largest sugarcane state, with a huge cattle herd and millions of tonnes of crop residue every year. Today much of this is dumped or burnt.
Panchvati Foods captures that value. We design, build and operate CBG plants, sell the gas to India's leading oil companies, and return the leftover nutrients to farmers as organic manure.

The problem we solve
Four challenges, one solution
Methane emissions
Rotting agricultural and industrial waste releases methane, a greenhouse gas far stronger than CO₂. We capture it and use it.
Waste management
Organic waste piles up at mills, dairies and in fields. We turn it into a valuable energy resource instead of landfill.
Fossil fuel dependency
India imports most of its gas and oil. Renewable bio-CNG makes the energy mix cleaner and more secure.
Rural energy access
Decentralised plants bring energy, jobs and a new income to rural and remote communities.
Why bio-CNG
Good for the air, the soil and the economy
Carbon neutral
Made from organic waste, bio-CNG adds no net carbon compared with fossil fuels.
Renewable
Crop residue, dung and pressmud are produced again every season, so the fuel never runs out.
Cleaner air
Burning bio-CNG emits far less particulate matter, nitrogen oxides and sulphur oxides than diesel or petrol.
Less landfill
Diverting organic waste from dumps and fields reduces pollution and stubble burning.
Our objectives
What we are working towards
Cut methane emissions
Capture methane from farm and mill waste before it reaches the air.
Turn waste into energy
Make organic waste a resource instead of landfill or smoke.
Replace fossil fuel
Supply renewable bio-CNG and cut India's fuel imports.
Power rural India
Bring energy, jobs and income to villages around each plant.
Restore the soil
Return organic carbon to farmland through our manure.
How it works
From pressmud to pump in four steps
Collect
Pressmud from sugar mills and dung from local cattle arrive at the plant every day.
Digest
Sealed, oxygen-free digesters let bacteria turn the slurry into raw biogas.
Purify
A three-stage membrane system strips out CO₂ and impurities to leave pure methane.
Compress
The gas is compressed to 250 bar and delivered to CNG outlets as bio-CNG.
Why Uttar Pradesh
More feedstock than anywhere else in India
Uttar Pradesh produces enormous volumes of organic waste every year, and demand for gas in the state keeps rising across every sector.

Executed · September 2022Our vision
Why we believe in bio-CNG
A sustainable fuel for India
Bio-CNG can reduce India's dependence on fossil fuels, lower carbon emissions and put circular-economy principles into practice.
Real climate impact
Capturing methane from agricultural and municipal waste directly supports India's climate goals.
Economic opportunity
Each plant creates jobs, new income for farmers and mills, and reduces India's energy import bill.
Strong policy support
Government incentives and frameworks such as SATAT are speeding up the adoption of bio-CNG.
Better technology
Ongoing research keeps improving the efficiency and cost of producing and using bio-CNG.
Future roadmap
Where we are going next
Expand capacity
Invest in new bio-CNG plants at strategic locations to meet growing demand for renewable gas.
Upgrade technology
Keep upgrading our plants with the latest processing technology for better yields and gas quality.
Diversify feedstock
Partner with agricultural, municipal and industrial waste suppliers for a reliable supply.
New applications
Take bio-CNG beyond vehicles into power generation, heating and industrial processes.
Partnerships
Work with industry, research institutions and government to speed up bio-CNG adoption.
