Main CBG feedstocks in Uttar Pradesh
| Feedstock | What to plan for |
|---|---|
| Press mud | Sugar-mill by-product with good gas potential. Available in the crushing season, so store it or co-feed it. |
| Paddy straw | Widely available. Needs baling, storage and full pretreatment. |
| Cattle dung & gaushala waste | Plentiful across the state. A stable base load for co-digestion. |
| Sugarcane trash & municipal wet waste | Field trash after harvest, plus segregated organic waste from large cities. |

Recommended plant design for Uttar Pradesh
For mill-adjacent projects, design around the crushing season: size press-mud storage, or blend in dung and straw to keep the digesters fed after the season ends. For standalone rural plants, a dung + straw base with press mud as a seasonal booster is common.

Frequently asked questions
It depends on the location. In the sugar belts, press mud (with dung or straw for the off-season) is most common. Elsewhere, cattle dung co-digested with paddy straw works well.
Yes. UP has a state bioenergy policy covering CBG, which works alongside central GOBARdhan support. Incentives and eligibility change with notifications, so we check the current provisions while preparing your DPR.
Yes. A mill-integrated plant can use press mud directly and share utilities and land. The design must cover off-season feedstock so the plant runs year-round.
