Compressed Bio Gas — a clean, renewable alternative to CNG produced from organic waste through anaerobic digestion.
Compressed BioCNC (CBG) means the mixture of hydrocarbon gases and vapours consisting mainly of Methane in gaseous form, which has been produced by the decomposition of animal and plant waste, purified and compressed for use as an automotive fuel and industrial application.
Biogas can be compressed after removal of carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulphide, the same way as natural gas is compressed to CNG, and used to power motor vehicles.
Compressed Bio Gas (CBG) is produced from organic waste material, making it a great renewable energy source. It also reduces use of fossil fuels.
CBG production captures methane – a potent greenhouse gas from decomposing organic matter. When used as a fuel, CBG is a great alternative to traditional fossil fuels like diesel, significantly reducing carbon emissions.
CBG production and distribution create a new business opportunity, especially in rural areas. It can generate new job opportunities. CBG reduces energy costs which is considered to great financial alternative.
The anaerobic digestion process used to produce CBG creates a byproduct called digestate, which is a nutrient-rich organic fertilizer.
Chemically, CBG is the same as CNG — both are compressed methane and have almost the same calorific value.
| Aspect | CBG (Bio-based) | CNG (Fossil-based) |
|---|---|---|
| Main Component | ✓ Compressed Methane | Compressed Methane |
| Calorific Value | ✓ Almost identical to CNG | ~47 MJ/kg |
| Source | ✓ Any biomass (organic waste) | By-product of petroleum |
| Renewable? | ✓ Yes — 100% renewable | No — fossil fuel |
| Carbon Footprint | ✓ Carbon-negative | Carbon-positive |
| Distribution | ✓ Cylinders or pipelines | Cylinders or pipelines |
| Vehicle Compatibility | ✓ Can directly replace CNG | Standard CNG vehicles |
CBG and its by-products hold the chance for a circular economic growth.
