Indian Patent No. 550208 Granted · IPO India · September 2024

The only team with a granted patent
in Indian biogas monitoring.

A patent is not just paperwork. It is proof that the Indian Patent Office examined our system architecture, found it novel and non-obvious, and certified it as intellectual property — something no other biogas monitoring company in India holds.

Patent 550208
"A System for Enhancing Efficiency, Productivity and Real Time Monitoring of Biogas Plants"
Indian Patent Office · Granted 13 September 2024 · Applicant: CGF Bioenergy Pvt Ltd (BioSarthi)
The problem we solved

Most biogas plants in India run
on guesswork.

Without real-time data, operators cannot tell whether a plant is performing at 30% or 80% of its design capacity. Problems compound silently — until the plant stops producing and someone has to explain the shortfall.

Problem 01

No visibility inside the digester

Temperature, pressure, pH, and gas flow — the four parameters that determine plant health — have historically been measured manually, if at all. By the time a human checks, the damage is done.

Problem 02

No early warning system

A developing process failure — acid buildup, temperature drop, feedstock imbalance — gives early signals that a trained system can catch. Without monitoring, those signals are invisible until the plant trips.

Problem 03

No data for accountability

Government programmes like GOBARdhan and SATAT require plants to demonstrate output and compliance. Without auditable data, plant operators cannot access subsidies, carbon credits, or purchase agreements.

The patented innovation

A complete system — sensors to decisions.

Patent 550208 covers an integrated architecture that connects physical measurement at the plant to cloud intelligence to operator action. Each layer builds on the last.

Layer 4
AI yield prediction & operator recommendations
Layer 3
Cloud analytics, anomaly detection, alerts
Layer 2
Edge gateway — data normalisation & transmission
Layer 1
IoT sensors — gas flow, temperature, pressure, pH

What the patent covers

The innovation is the integrated system architecture — not just a sensor, and not just software. The patent covers the method by which physical plant data is captured, transmitted, processed, and acted upon in real time to improve plant efficiency and productivity.

This is a holistic claim. Competitors cannot replicate the approach without infringing — which is why it took years of R&D and a formal examination by the Indian Patent Office to get it granted.

  • Continuous multi-parameter measurement at critical plant points
  • Proprietary edge processing before cloud transmission
  • Predictive models trained on Indian feedstock profiles
  • Closed-loop recommendations that improve plant decisions over time
Why this matters

Rare in the right ways.

Getting a patent granted in India requires more than filing — it requires a novel invention, a rigorous examination, and a system that actually works at scale. We have all three.

Granted, not pending

Many companies claim "patented technology" on pending applications. Ours was examined, challenged, and granted by the Indian Patent Office in September 2024. It is registered IP.

Years of R&D behind it

The architecture that became Patent 550208 was built from live deployments at real plants — not a laboratory prototype. The data that informed the design came from actual biogas operations across India.

Comparable patents in India

To our knowledge, no other biogas monitoring company in India holds a granted patent for this class of system. This is a genuine moat — defensible, durable, and government-certified.

What it means for you

The same technology.
Different conversations.

Patent 550208 means something different depending on who you are. Here is why it matters to each of the stakeholders we work with.

Plant operators

Your plant stops being a black box.

  • Know in real time whether your plant is running at design capacity
  • Get alerted before a problem becomes a shutdown
  • Generate auditable output data for SATAT and GOBARdhan compliance
  • Reduce guesswork for operators and maintenance teams
Investors

You are backing a defensible position.

  • Granted IP creates a moat competitors cannot easily cross
  • The system architecture is not replicable without infringement
  • A patent in a fragmented, data-poor sector is a genuine differentiator
  • The same platform scales across plant sizes, feedstocks, and geographies
Government & programme owners

Independent, auditable plant data.

  • Real-time output data from every connected plant — no self-reporting
  • GOBARdhan and SATAT compliance monitoring at scale
  • Certified technology from a DPIIT-recognised, patent-holding company
  • Data that can support policy decisions on CBG targets and subsidy allocation
