Biomass BIOCBG Supply Chain Logistocs
Long term and reliable supply of quality feedstock (biomass) for the BioCNG project is critical for plant operation and project viability.
The average feedstock cost for a project may vary based on the type of feedstock, location of procurement, and quality of pre-treatment.
Transport of feedstock from source to the plant location and connectivity of these locations are other key aspects of biomass supply chain. For seamless operation of BioCNG plant, it is preferable to have on-site depot, catering to more than 45 days of daily consumption and feedstock availability within 25 km radius of the plant vicinity.
Biomass BIOCBG Supply Chain Logistocs
BioCNG plants based on MSWs face the challenge of collection, segregation and transportation of wastes. With the recent advancements in the automation and data exchange, waste collection can be optimized. A number of waste management solutions
track the movement of compactors and waste-collection vehicles on a nearly realtime basis, whereas, some are using Internet of Things (IoT) sensors to recognize the types of waste to ensure the quality etc.
Biomass supply chain in India is unorganized (mainly for agriculture residues) with limited participation and involvement of farm producer organizations ( FPOs), biomass aggregators, village level entrepreneurs (VLEs) and biomass processing
companies, among others.
Equipment required: Transprt Vehicles, CBG Cascades, Loading / Unloading Cranes etc. GREENING INDIA’S ENERGY MIX WITH COMPRESSED BIOGAS UNITED BIOENERGY PVT LTD Upgraded and purified biogas or BioCNG can be transported from the point of
generation to utilization point/retailing outlets using city gas distribution network, local gas pipelines or vehicle to transport cascades/cylinders. It is generally stored in high pressure cylinders at 250 bar pressure. The expansion of existing City Gas Distribution
(CGD) network from existing 100 cities to 400 cities is planned for the next three-four years.
BioCNG can be injected in the CGD network (including PNG network) in specified geographical areas as per standards and protocol. At the utilization points of BioCNG i.e. Retail Outlet/ Standalone Selling Point, there is a requirement to create the infrastructure such as equipment for dispensing the BioCNG. The dispensing equipment will be installed and maintained by one of the CGD company, whereas, the BioCNG nozzles will be staffed and operated by CGD Company or its authorized service representative. A broad overview of the supply chain logistics for BioCNG in India is given below
