Va Tech Wabag (WABAG) and PEAK Sustainability Ventures (PEAK) are set to co-develop a Bio-CNG plant at the 70 MLD Sewage Treatment Plant in Dundaheda, Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, India. This initiative aims to convert sewage waste into renewable energy, significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions and supporting India's energy transition.
- 01The Bio-CNG plant will be developed at a sewage treatment facility in Ghaziabad.
- 02This project is part of a larger initiative to establish 100 Bio-CNG plants across India.
- 03The plant aims to reduce approximately 250,000 metric tons of carbon emissions.
- 04Commercial operations are expected to begin within one year.
- 05The project represents a significant step towards sustainable energy and reducing methane emissions.

Va Tech Wabag (WABAG) and PEAK Sustainability Ventures (PEAK) have announced their first Bio-CNG plant in Dundaheda, Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, India. This initiative is part of a broader waste-to-energy strategy aimed at establishing 100 Bio-CNG plants across India and beyond. The facility will be built at a 70 MLD Sewage Treatment Plant under a Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) model through a Public Private Partnership. The project will capture raw biogas from sewage, converting it into high-quality renewable Bio-CNG fuel, which will replace traditional fossil fuels in various applications. This approach not only addresses waste management but also significantly mitigates methane emissions, which have a 28 times higher Global Warming Potential than carbon dioxide. Over its lifetime, the project is expected to reduce carbon emissions by approximately 250,000 metric tons. Commercial operations are anticipated to start within a year, marking a crucial step toward enhancing local renewable energy sources and alleviating global LNG/CNG supply chain pressures.
