INDIA’S BIOGAS DECADE – FROM VISION TO GLOBAL LEADERSHIP
The World Biogas Association (WBA) will deliver the World Biogas Association INDIA Congress 2025 on 3–4 December at the India Habitat Centre in New Delhi. This two-day live event will spotlight India’s rise as a biogas superpower, bringing together national and international expertise.
The Congress offers industry stakeholders a unique first-mover advantage in one of the world’s largest and most investable biogas markets. Discussions will focus on key technical interventions to enhance the performance, efficiency and sustainability of biogas plants.
Why India?
India’s biogas moment is here – and it’s accelerating across states. A powerful mix of central and state policy push, market pull and practical need is aligning to turn organic waste into a bankable energy and climate solution. National missions are catalysing thousands of projects in urban and rural areas, while state governments incentivise investment, streamline permits and link projects to municipal waste concessions and agricultural supply chains. The result is a maturing ecosystem that is set to reduce methane emissions, displace imported fossil fuels and create resilient local jobs – while supporting India’s Paris Climate Pledge.
Demand is solidifying thanks to flagship government policies such as SATAT, CBG-CGD and the CBG blending mandate, which de-risk investment by creating markets for biogas outputs. Several state and municipal governments have rolled out targeted biogas and waste-to-energy policies, including fiscal incentives and land-access support. These measures have created fertile ground for scaling biogas production and established a framework that makes India one of the most dynamic biogas markets globally.
Supply is catching up fast. States with dense agro-industries – sugar, dairy, agro-residues and food processing – are beginning to support the aggregation of feedstock from mills and farm collectives, while metropolitan regions bundle municipal solid waste and sewage sludge under long-term contracts. WBA’s internationally recognised #MakingBiogasHappen programme, supported by the Global Methane Hub, COP30 and the Clean Energy Ministerial, is helping to accelerate this process. Through this programme, we have brought together government, industry and expert stakeholders to drive adoption, spark partnerships and showcase scalable solutions. Insights into these latest developments will be a key focus of the two-day World Biogas Association India Congress 2025.
For national and international stakeholders, the opportunity spans the full value chain:
Innovative technology collaboration: High-efficiency digesters, upgrading and CO₂ capture systems, modular plants for smaller towns, and digital twins for performance optimisation
EPC and O&M services: Remote monitoring, predictive maintenance, feedstock pre-treatment and guaranteed uptime contracts
Innovative finance: Project equity, debt and blended-finance vehicles; warehouse facilities to scale portfolios; carbon offtake agreements to monetise avoided methane
Offtake and trading: Long-term CBG supply to transport fleets and industry; certificates for renewable gas; integration with green hydrogen and microgrid applications
Circular products: Premium biofertilisers and soil-carbon services for regenerative agriculture
What is distinctive in India is the depth of feedstock and the will to scale the industry from pilot to platform projects. International partners who bring bankable technology, balance-sheet strength and disciplined execution can secure multi-year pipelines with attractive risk-adjusted returns – while delivering measurable climate impact and energy security at state level. In short: the enabling environment is no longer theoretical; it is investable – and it is moving quickly.
Why attend?
The Congress programme runs across two parallel tracks. One focuses on policy and leadership, exploring the strategies, regulations and investments shaping India’s biogas future. The other delivers technical content, showcasing practical solutions, innovations and expertise to optimise plant performance.
