00:00What if the fuel powering your next car came from cow dung?
00:04In India's dairy heartland, that's already happening.
00:07Every day, thousands of kilograms of cattle waste collected from nearby villages
00:11is turned into compressed biogas,
00:14a fuel that can power cars, auto rickshaws and commercial vehicles.
00:18The idea isn't entirely new.
00:21India already produces bio-CNG from sources ranging from municipal waste to agricultural residue.
00:27But as global energy prices surge and import dependence becomes a growing concern,
00:32projects like this are attracting fresh attention.
00:57The project is backed by Suzuki and Banas Dairy.
01:00Together, they're trying something unusual,
01:03helping create the fuel that powers the vehicle Suzuki sells.
01:06For farmers, it means extra income.
01:09For India, it could mean a little less dependence on important energy.
