Compressed Biogas (CBG) Ecosystem

Beyond solar and wind, Renewable Natural Gas (RNG), or Compressed Biogas (CBG) as it is commonly known, is emerging as a critical decarbonisation pathway for hard-to-abate sectors like heavy transport and industrial heating. The global market is moving away from landfill gas capture and toward agricultural residue and energy crop digestion. This sector offers a dual revenue stream, combining energy sales with high-value carbon credits (or Renewable Identification Numbers in the US) alongside bio-fertiliser co-products, which makes the economics particularly compelling.

What Numbro covers:

Global feedstock availability mapping across agricultural residue (corn stover, paddy straw), municipal solid waste (MSW), and press mud. Techno-economic analysis of anaerobic digestion versus thermochemical gasification pathways. Revenue model benchmarking across gas sales, Bio-CNG retail, and environmental attribute markets including RINs in the US and CBG-CGD Synergy in Asia. Offtake agreement structures and pipeline injection standards for biomethane. Competitive landscape covering major global developers such as Archaea Energy (BP), Verbio, and Brightmark.
