Understanding CBG Cascades and Storage Systems

A look inside the backbone of Bio-CNG logistics — cascades that store, transport, and stabilize green energy delivery.

CBG cascade cylinders used for Bio-CNG transportation in India

Compressed Bio-Gas (CBG) cascades are the unseen enablers of India's clean energy transition. These high-pressure storage systems safely contain purified CBG at up to 250 bar, enabling efficient transportation from decentralized plants to fueling stations.

A CBG cascade typically comprises multiple interconnected cylinders — arranged in steel frames — built for seamless filling, discharge, and transport. The design ensures safety, stability, and minimal leakage under extreme conditions.

Types of Cascades:

  • Steel Cascades: Common, cost-effective, but heavy.
  • Composite Cascades: Lightweight, corrosion-resistant, ideal for mobile CBG distribution.
  • Underground Cascades: Used for high-volume stationary storage at industrial plants.

Key Benefits:

  • Reduces logistics losses and enhances distribution reliability.
  • Enables decentralized CBG production in rural areas.
  • Scalable for both small- and large-capacity plants.

Hastus Insight: Cascades form the physical link between bioenergy generation and urban consumption, allowing rural plants to fuel city transport and industries.
