About SATAT Scheme

The Sustainable Alternative Towards Affordable Transportation (SATAT) was launched on 1st October 2018 aiming to establish an ecosystem for production of Compressed Bio Gas (CBG) from various waste/ biomass sources in the country. This flagship initiative by the Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas encourages the use of Compressed Biogas (CBG) as a clean and sustainable alternative to conventional fuels in transportation and industrial sectors.

Under SATAT, Oil and Gas Marketing Companies IOCL, BPCL, HPCL, GAIL and IGL have invited Expression of interest (EoI) to procure CBG from potential entrepreneurs for further marketing.

Scheme Objectives

Launch Date: October 1, 2018

Implementing Ministry: Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas

Vision: Sustainable energy ecosystem for waste-to-wealth conversion

Key Features of SATAT

Assured Offtake

Oil & Gas marketing companies are executing long term agreements for off-take of CBG at an assured price.

Market Support

CBG can be sold for use in CNG vehicles, industrial fuels, or even injected into the gas grid with guaranteed market access.

Open Investment

Private players, cooperatives, FPOs, and startups can set up CBG plants with government support and incentives.

Feedstock Flexibility

CBG can be produced from agricultural residue, cattle dung, municipal solid waste, press mud, and other organic waste materials.

Farmer Income

Buy-back of agricultural waste improves rural economy and provides additional income sources for farmers.

Eco-Friendly Fuel

High calorific value, low emissions, and cleaner air quality compared to traditional fossil fuels.
