					</table><p>The Union government has launched the unified registration portal for <a href="https://gobardhan.co.in./" target="_blank" rel="noopener">GOBARdhan</a>, with the aim of streamlining the process of setting up compressed biogas CBG/Biogas plants in India. The portal will act as a one-stop repository for assessing investment and participation in the sector nationwide.</p>
<p>The initiative aims to convert waste into wealth and realize the goals of a circular economy.</p>
<p>The portal will offer feasibility for government bodies, cooperatives, and private enterprises to register and obtain a unique registration number for entities interested in establishing biogas/ (CBG)/bio-CNG projects.</p>
<p>Registration on the portal will provide entities access to various benefits and support from the ministries and departments of the government.</p>
<p>In February, the Budget 2023-24 <a href="https://www.mercomindia.com/union-budget-substantial-capital-expedite-green-energy-transition" target="_blank" rel="noopener">allocated</a> ₹100 billion (~$1.23 billion) for the GOBARdhan program.</p>
<p>The Department of Drinking Water and Sanitation (<a href="https://jalshakti-ddws.gov.in/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DDWS</a>), Ministry of Jal Shakti, serves as the nodal department for GOBARdhan and has developed a user-friendly portal accessible at: <a href="https://jalshakti-ddws.gov.in/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://jalshakti-ddws.gov.in/</a></p>
<p>Union Minister for Jal Shakti Gajendra Singh Shekhawat said the launch of the portal marks a milestone in the government&#8217;s waste-to-wealth generation journey and reinforces its commitment to fostering sustainable economic growth.</p>
<p>The government has urged state governments to prioritize the registration of their CBG/Biogas project operators on the portal to avail themselves of the existing and upcoming support from the Union government.</p>
<p><strong>Benefits and Transparency</strong></p>
<p>The newly launched portal serves as a valuable tool for investors and entrepreneurs in the Biogas/CBG sector. It provides comprehensive information on existing and proposed GOBARdhan projects, enabling stakeholders to make informed decisions.</p>
<p>The GOBARdhan initiative also aligns with India&#8217;s climate action goals, including the target of achieving net-zero emissions by 2070.</p>
<p>Given India&#8217;s significant livestock population, the effective utilization of animal waste through the CBG/Biogas sector can be pivotal in the country&#8217;s energy transition.</p>
<p>GOBARdhan also contributes to achieving several Sustainable Development Goals and supports the circular economy.</p>
<p>Recently, the Goa Budget <a href="https://www.mercomindia.com/goas-budget-green-hydrogen-ammonia-facilities" target="_blank" rel="noopener">proposed</a> an additional incentive of 20% to encourage the establishment of renewable biogas plants.</p>
