India has big ambitions for CBG; thousands of businesses and entrepreneurs wish to put up CBG plants. The demand for CBG is massive. But feedstock is a challenge - relying on food waste and animal waste cannot scale this business. 

Enter biomass such as paddy straw, napier grass and agri residues

• These are available in plenty and have good supply chains.
• But all these are lignocellulosic biomass, and thus need to be pre-treated before they can be used in a digester.
• Hundreds of entrepreneurs have approached the BioBiz division of EAI wanting to know more about CBG from Napier Grass, Miscanthus, Paddy Straw etc.
• They have lots of questions, many doubts about use of these biomass.
