Business segment review - subsidiaries
Adani Total Energies Biomass Limited
Overview
Adani TotalEnergies Biomass Limited (ATBL), a wholly-owned subsidiary of ATGL, focusses on manufacturing Compressed Bio-Gas (CBG) and organic fertilisers.
Biogas provides sustainable energy solutions with significant environmental benefits and versatile applications, playing a crucial role in mitigating climate change, reducing fossil fuel dependence, and fostering a circular economy.
The Government of India launched Sustainable Alternative Towards Affordable Transportation (SATAT) scheme to promote the production and utilisation of Compressed Bio Gas (CBG).
To drive the adoption of CBG, the National Biofuels Coordination Committee (NBCC) has introduced a phased mandatory blending of CBG in the CNG (Transport) and PNG (Domestic) segments of the CGD sector. The CBG Blending Obligation (CBO), which was voluntary until FY 2024-25, will become mandatory from FY 2025-26, with the following targets:
1%Of total CNG (T) & PNG (D) consumption in FY 2025-26
3%In FY 2026-27
4%In FY 2027-28
5%From FY 2028-29 onwards
These measures will enhance CBG availability, promote a gas-based and circular economy, and contribute to India's net-zero emission goals.
With the world’s largest cattle population, India has vast raw material potential for biogas production. However, conversion rates remain low. Recent policy interventions – including the inclusion of CBG projects in priority sector lending by the Reserve Bank of India and government incentives under the SATAT scheme – are expected to accelerate CBG production and adoption, reinforcing India’s commitment to cleaner and sustainable energy solutions.
