netiBIO, the bioenergy division of STEER World, has been honoured with the “Breakthrough Technology to Pre-Condition Biomass and Agri Residue for Value Creation in Bioenergy and Biofuels” award at the 5th BBB International Expo and Summit 2026 held at IICC Yashobhoomi, New Delhi. The award acknowledges netiBIO’s contribution to addressing one of the most significant operational challenges in the compressed biogas (CBG) industry—improving the efficiency with which agricultural residues and biomass are converted into renewable energy. Through its advanced biomass pre-treatment technology, the company is helping CBG plant operators enhance feedstock digestibility and improve overall processing performance before anaerobic digestion.
The technology has been developed to maximize the energy potential of agricultural waste streams and support greater resource utilization across bioenergy operations. Under suitable operating conditions, the solution has demonstrated the capability to increase biogas yield significantly, helping plant operators strengthen operational economics while improving feedstock efficiency.
The award was received by Rajaraman DC, Chief Business Officer, Bioenergy Division, STEER World, during the summit attended by leading policymakers, industry experts, investors, and technology providers from the renewable energy ecosystem. The recognition was presented by senior industry and policy leaders representing India’s bioenergy sector.
Commenting on the achievement, Nitin Gupta, Executive Director and Global CEO of STEER World, said that enhancing energy recovery from existing biomass resources remains one of the most effective ways to improve the commercial viability of CBG projects. He noted that the recognition reflects the company’s commitment to developing scalable technologies that combine technical performance with practical implementation for industrial users.
India’s bioenergy sector is witnessing rapid growth as the country accelerates efforts to expand renewable fuel production and reduce dependence on conventional fossil-based energy sources. Agricultural residue management remains a critical element in this transition, creating opportunities for technologies that can improve feedstock utilization and support circular economy initiatives.
netiBIO’s solution is designed to integrate seamlessly into existing CBG plant operations, enabling operators to process agricultural residues more effectively while supporting sustainable waste-to-energy conversion. The BBB International Expo and Summit is among India’s leading platforms dedicated to bioenergy development, bringing together stakeholders from across the value chain to discuss policy, innovation, investment, and technology advancements.
