00:00This event is basically to understand the policies that are required to enhance the CVG market and adaptability.
00:07This is important because all the stakeholders come together and there is an opportunity for us to share what we
00:12have learned so far
00:13and what is holding back the industry. Obviously, CVG has a lot of potential and it is now mandated to
00:19be as an energy provider
00:20not only just a waste management or nutrients provider but also a big energy provider.
00:26Sir, we are talking with CVG and what is the situation with crude oil in the country?
00:31Because the global prices are cooling off but the reflection is not similar to the domestic market.
00:35How much time will it take for our OMCs to reach that constant energy?
00:39Today, the whole world is going through a split of fossil fuel versus new energy.
00:43People are electrifying countries like China. They are completely going electrical to hedge against this issue of the fossil fuel.
00:50India has taken a hybrid kind of approach. That's what we have seen so far.
00:54We are using ethanol. We are banking on CVG. The good thing with CVG is it generates a molecule which
01:00is methane.
01:01You can use methane and you can convert into a jet fuel, into a surface aviation fuel and all other
01:07kind of energy.
01:08It creates that opportunity and it can be used directly. It doesn't need infrastructure. We can inject in the pipe.
01:14This reduces our dependence on foreign fuel and creates opportunities for economic growth within the country and employment.
01:21Sir, in the first session there was a discussion that CVG should be distributed to the urban areas for the
01:26city distribution.
01:28The city distribution, yes, is it possible?
01:32This is a very common thing in the United States and all across the world and Europe.
01:36The gas distribution line gets a tapping and it is injected in those lines.
01:41There is a very strict monitoring protocol through gas chromatograph and all that stuff to make sure we are putting
01:47the right kind of molecules in the pipeline.
01:49And I'm sure when these permissions and approvals are mandated, there is a very strong quality assurance around it.
01:56But technically it's very much possible. A lot of other countries are doing it.
01:59This event is basically to understand the policies that are required to enhance the CVG market and adaptability.
02:06This is important because all the stakeholders come together and there is an opportunity for us to share what we
02:12have learned so far and what is holding back the industry.

02:49India has taken a hybrid kind of approach. That's what we have seen so far.
02:53We are using ethanol. We are banking on CBG.
02:57The good thing with CBG is it generates a molecule which is methane.
03:01You can use methane and you can convert into a jet fuel, into a surface aviation fuel and all other
03:07kind of energy.
03:08It creates that opportunity and it can be used directly.
03:10It doesn't need infrastructure. We can inject in the pipe.
03:13This reduces our dependence on foreign fuel and creates opportunities for economic growth within the country and employment.
03:21So, in the first session there was a discussion that CBG should be distributed from the urban areas and the
03:26city distribution.
03:27You know, the city distribution, yes, right.
03:29Do you think if this is possible?
03:31This is a very common thing in the United States and all across the world and Europe.
03:36The gas distribution line gets a tapping and it is injected in those lines.
03:40There is a very strict monitoring protocol through gas chromatograph and all that stuff to make sure we are putting
03:46the right kind of molecules in the pipeline.
03:48And I am sure when these permissions and approvals are mandated, there is a very strong quality assurance around it.
03:55But technically it is very much possible.
03:57A lot of other countries are doing it.
03:59a non- Francavalierten person.
04:00we need to thank customers in the perspective,
04:00if not, because we do it.
04:01we know that we have serious consequences,
04:02and we do better than that.
04:03It doesn't require an energy to acknowledge PCR.
04:03Here is one individual.
