For the international dairy community, this project serves as a prime case study in horizontal integration. By leveraging the vast milk-collection network of Sumul, the project ensures a consistent supply of feedstock directly from local farmers. This synergy between automotive technology from Suzuki and the cooperative strength of the dairy sector illustrates a new frontier in agribusiness where the “by-product” of the farm becomes a primary revenue stream for the energy market.

The economic impact on producers is a central pillar of this agreement. Beyond the sale of milk, dairy farmers stand to gain a “waste-to-wealth” advantage, providing an additional layer of financial resilience to rural households. This model addresses two critical challenges simultaneously: the disposal of organic waste in high-density livestock areas and the rising demand for cleaner, cost-effective fuel alternatives for transportation and industry.

Data from the project highlights the technical sophistication involved in this “Green Revolution.” The proposed CBG plant is designed to utilize advanced fermentation and purification processes to ensure that the final biogas output meets stringent automotive standards. This integration signifies a maturity in the Indian dairy sector, moving from simple production to becoming an essential player in the national strategy for energy security and carbon footprint reduction.
