A recently reported ₹500 gobar gas (biogas) cylinder is catching the eye of many across India, sparking dialogues about alternative and budget-friendly fuel options. With the price tag for an 18 kg biogas cylinder, consumers are eager to explore economical energy solutions.
Biogas, generated from cow dung and organic matter, is heavily endorsed through programs like the GOBARdhan initiative. This eco-conscious fuel reduces reliance on LPG while additionally producing organic fertilizer as a beneficial by-product.
Experts caution that many biogas systems currently in operation rely on fixed installations and pipeline distribution rather than the portable cylinders typical of LPG. They advise verifying claims about accessible biogas cylinders with official confirmations.
The increasing focus on biogas underscores a significant move towards sustainable energy alternatives in India, particularly in light of rising fuel prices and a growing understanding of environmental responsibilities.
