From LPG to biogas, kitchen operations shift at Capgemini campuses in India as circular energy use gains ground

Capgemini says the move to Bio CNG across its India offices supports waste to energy use, while its campuses continue to run on 100 percent renewable power with IoT based energy monitoring systems.

Operational sustainability is increasingly moving beyond large energy systems into everyday infrastructure, including how workplace facilities are powered and managed.
In this context, Capgemini has transitioned cafeteria kitchens across its offices in India from Liquefied Petroleum Gas to Bio CNG, introducing a shift in how cooking operations are fuelled within its campuses.

Bio CNG is produced from organic waste through anaerobic digestion, where biodegradable material is converted into methane rich gas and processed for commercial use. The transition has been supported by dedicated gas bank infrastructure, enabling continuity in operations while moving away from conventional fuel sources.
The change reflects a wider shift towards integrating waste to energy systems within operational environments. By converting organic waste into usable fuel, the approach links daily consumption with energy generation, reducing reliance on fossil fuels while supporting circular use of resources.

The initiative forms part of Capgemini’s broader effort to embed sustainability into routine operations. Across its India campuses, the company operates on 100 percent renewable energy, indicating a larger transition towards cleaner energy systems beyond individual use cases.
Supporting this transition is Capgemini’s Energy Command Center, a digital platform that uses IoT to monitor and optimise energy consumption across facilities. The system enables real time tracking of usage patterns, helping improve efficiency across campuses.

The company’s Bengaluru campus has received Net Zero Energy Platinum certification from the Indian Green Building Council for generating energy equivalent to its consumption. Similar certifications have been awarded to its campuses in Hinjewadi, Talawade and Airoli, reflecting consistent performance in energy management.

As organisations expand sustainability efforts into operational layers, initiatives such as Bio CNG adoption indicate a shift towards linking infrastructure, waste management and energy use within a single system.
