Founded in 2011, the Indian Biogas Association (IBA) is a non-profit industry body that brings together stakeholders in India’s biogas sector. Members of IBA include biogas organizations, institutions, companies and individuals and its mission statement is to “propagate biogas in a sustainable way.”
Collaborations and partnerships
[edit]The Indian Biogas Association has entered into a number of national and international collaborations focused on biogas development in India.
- In 2016, IBA signed a collaboration agreement with the German Biogas Association under the BIG-P (Biogas Indo-German Partnership) project.[1][2][3]
- In December 2020, IBA signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Sardar Swaran Singh National Institute of Bioenergy (SSNIBE),[4][5] to work on training, policy research, and plant audits; this agreement was renewed in 2024.[6][7][8]
- In 2024,the association and the Hydrogen Association of India inked a Memorandum of Understanding.[9]
- In 2025, IBA entered into a partnership with Indian Oil Corporation Limited to collaborate on projects related to bioenergy and biohydrogen.[10]
- The association was also granted observer status by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and was listed among the admitted organizations for COP29.[11]
