Suzuki is set to showcase a Biomethane-powered Suzuki WagonRΒ at the 2023 Japan Mobility Show. This made-in-India vehicle was previously displayed in May 2023.
Since 2022, the WagonR CBG project has been in the works, and Suzuki will share more details on its CBG initiatives in India at the Japan Mobility Show in Tokyo.
Biomethane-powered Suzuki WagonR: Information
The companyβs chairman, RC Bhargava, has highlighted the significance of hybrid technologies, CBG, and CNG in reducing Indiaβs carbon footprint.
CBG can power vehicles and engines, much like compressed natural gas (CNG).However, while CNG comes from petroleum sources,Β CBG is derived from the decomposition of organic matter such as agricultural waste, cow dung, sewage, and municipal waste.
After decomposition, the biogas is refined to lower carbon dioxide content and increase methane levels, making it more similar to CNG.
CBGβs organic origins allow for by-products of decomposition to be used for agricultural purposes.
