The Gujarat government inaugurated the Banas Bio‑CNG model plant in Banaskantha district, marking a step towards renewable fuel production from agricultural waste.
Gujarat officials formally opened the Banas Bio‑CNG model plant in Banaskantha district on Thursday. The facility is designed to convert agricultural residues into bio‑compressed natural gas, offering a cleaner alternative to conventional fossil fuels.
The inauguration underscores the state’s commitment to promoting renewable energy solutions that leverage locally available biomass. By processing farm waste into bio‑CNG, the plant aims to reduce dependence on imported LPG and curb greenhouse‑gas emissions.
Stakeholders highlighted that the model plant will serve as a pilot for scaling similar projects across the state, potentially creating new income streams for farmers and contributing to rural energy security.
The event was attended by representatives of the state’s energy department and local authorities, who affirmed that the initiative aligns with Gujarat’s broader sustainability goals.
