NEW DELHI: Uttar Pradesh's rural economy is set to get a boost as, for the first time, methane will be produced from cow dung on a large scale, producing fuel that can power vehicles over long distances, creating rural jobs, and strengthening the green economy.
The experts on the matter are of the view that cow dung from a single cow can yield methane, which is equivalent to 225 litres of petrol every year. After going through a purification process, compressed biogas (CBG) can run a car over 5,500km.
