Comprehensive Environmental and Social Sustainability Assessment of Bio-CNG as a

Since methane is a combustible gas and India is a large producer of both animal and agricultural waste, production and utilization of Bio-CNG mobility solutions can help the country in meeting the dual target of reducing methane emissions and at the same time decarbonizing the transport sector. [...] Well-to-Wheel Analysis of Fuels and Powertrain Components of EVs And ICEVs (PETROL, DIESEL, CNG, and Bio-CNG) For the purpose of presenting a comprehensive sustainability assessment of passenger vehicles across various fuel types, it is important to understand emissions linked to upstream production of fuels (well-to-tank) and as well as the emissions during the use phase (tank-to-wheel). [...] The newly launched Green Credit Programme has the potential of incentivizing the production of Bio-CNG for mobility by the inclusion of Bio-CNG as a sub category for claiming Green Credits. [...] The introduction and implementation of a new technology needs to take into consideration the perceptions of the people who are impacted by the technology to understand the readiness of the targeted population to adopt the technology when made available. [...] The approach towards the proposed analysis in purview of this Comprehensive Environmental and Social Sustainability Assessment of Bio-CNG as a Vehicular Fuel in India 19 paper has been to capture only the fuel related monetary savings resulting from the adoption of CNG mobility in rural areas instead of Petrol run vehicles.
