What is the 5,000-plant target?
mandate ≠ capacity
SATAT's original aspiration was 5,000 CBG plants. Actual commissioned plants - 217 as of mid-2026 - remain a small fraction of it, so it is a target rather than achieved capacity, and should be modelled against commissioning trends rather than quoted as a fleet size.

- Beginner — New to biogas. Plain language, no units assumed.
