New Delhi [India], February 14 (ANI): Sanjeev Kumar Bhatia, Executive Director of Indraprastha Gas Limited (IGL), emphasized the growing importance of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG), saying that "the future is LNG."
Speaking to ANI on the sidelines of India Energy Week 2025, Bhatia outlined how IGL is leveraging agricultural waste and other free stock to produce Compressed Bio-Gas (CBG).
He explained that the company chemically treats waste to convert it into methane, a natural gas that can be supplied through pipelines or used as a vehicle fuel at IGL outlets.
"Garbage and other free stock like agri-waste are chemically treated and converted into CBG. CBG is nothing other than methane, which is a natural gas. which is essentially methane. Now, we can directly supply this gas through a pipeline or our outlets for vehicles," Bhatia said.
In some locations where LNG is required, CBG can also be converted into LNG. While the current focus is on CBG, the future is LNG. This is the whole model," Bhatia said.
India Energy Week 2025 was envisioned as more than just another industry conference--it was designed to be a dynamic platform redefining global energy dialogues. In just two years, this self-funded initiative has achieved precisely that, becoming the world's second-largest energy event.
The event, inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on February 11, concludes today, February 14. (ANI)
