Agricultural residue management: Providing a viable solution to stubble burning, which contributes to air pollution and soil degradation. 2. Greenhouse gas reduction: Mitigating climate change by reducing emissions. 3. Sustainable rural development: Creating a structured value chain for agri-residue procurement, generating an additional income source for farmers. The Joint Venture plans to establish 8 - 10 plants across Bihar, Odisha, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal, over the next few years, which offer significant agri biomass potential for CBG production and aligned with BPCL's existing geographical allocation for city gas distribution. This reduces logistics costs and promotes efficient operations. Powered by Capital Market - Live
