CNG Gas Production With Garbage: Construction Of Plant At Jawaharnagar
A bio-CNG plant is under construction in Jawaharnagar to recycle waste, utilizing 500 metric tons of wet waste daily, with completion expected in six months. Greater Hyderabad generates 8,000 tons of garbage daily, including 4,500-5,000 tons of wet waste. GHMC plans additional bio-CNG plants in Paranagar and Dundigal, aiming for 100% waste recycling and improved waste management.
A bio-CNG Plant is being constructed in the city. The construction work of the plant has started in Jawaharnagar with the aim of recycling the waste. 500 metric tons of wet waste is being used regularly to make gas.
Officials say that the plant under construction will be available in another six months. 8,000 tons of garbage is generated daily in Greater Hyderabad. It contains 4500-5000 tons of wet waste. As part of scientific management, organic fertilizers, CNG gas, and dry waste should be used to generate electricity. At present 300-350 tonnes of wet waste is being made into organic fertilizers in the Jawaharnagar dumping yard. About 40 megawatts of electricity is being generated from waste in plants in Jawaharnagar and Dundigal. About 2,250 thousand metric tons of dry waste is used for this purpose.
Currently, biogas is being produced from methane gas coming out of the capped waste in the dumping yard. GHMC, which is constructing another power plant in Jawaharnagar for 100 percent recycling of waste, intends to set up bio CNG plants in Paranagar and Dundigal, which are under consideration for setting up a dumping yard.
The sources of GHMC stated that apart from ensuring that waste does not accumulate, the people of the surrounding areas will not have problems like bad smells and environmental pollution.
Mayor Gadwazl Vijayalakshmi and a group of corporators who went on a visit to Indore visited the bio-CNG plant there and examined the management methods.
