The biogas will be purified and converted into CNG before being bottled. The biogas is formed when organic materials decay over time. The plant will utilise cow dung, pressmud, poultry litter and biomass. The plant is located at Sukrauli, Nawalparasi. The company has invested Rs220 million to establish the plant. It has been using German technology to produce 2 tonnes of cooking gas daily. The plant uses feedstock like cow dung, agricultural waste, waste food and pressmud and converts it to biogas to produce CNG. “Due to the lack of domestic cooking gas plant, people had to suffer for five months during the trade embargo imposed by India in September 2015,” said Sandeep Kumar Agrawal, managing director of the company. “It is the first biogas plant in Nepal that will produce cooking gas in a commercial way.”
