Sistema.bio, a global social enterprise recognized for its innovative biogas technology, plans to establish 2,250 domestic biogas plants in Uttar Pradesh. These plants will be located in rural areas of Varanasi, Ayodhya, Gonda, and Gorakhpur. The project has received approval from the Department of Environment, Forest, and Climate Change. Each biogas plant will cost Rs 39,300, but the beneficiary farmer will only need to pay Rs 3,990, according to AK Saxena, the Minister of State for Environment, Forest, and Climate Change (Independent Charge).
The remaining funding will come from central financial assistance and carbon credits. The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy has set a target of 2,250 domestic biogas plants in the state for the 2024-25 period. In addition to providing biogas for cooking, these plants will also produce organic bio-manure for agricultural use.
