Company Description

Carbon Circle builds, owns and operates Renewable Natural Gas (also known as CBG) projects in India. These facilities convert organic matter in agricultural residues, industrial wastes, energy crops into biogas which is then upgraded to RNG.

RNG is a green alternative for Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) and Piped Natural Gas (PNG), and hence decarbonizes transportation and heating (industrial, domestic) applications. Organic manure is a byproduct from our facilities.

Our first plant is operational in Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh since August 2024. Our 2nd and 3rd projects are currently under development in Bareilly and Shahjahanpur.
