GAIL proposes wet waste-to-energy plant in north Bengaluru

It will utilise segregated organic wet waste to produce Compressed Bio Gas

Vegetable shavings, fruit peel and other kitchen waste may soon be converted into clean, green gas instead of ending up in a landfill. GAIL Gas Limited (GGL) is in talks with the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) to set up a Compressed Bio Gas (CBG) plant in north Bengaluru to utilise segregated organic wet waste. According to a letter from GGL, officials met BBMP Administrator Rakesh Singh and other senior officials after which they submitted a proposal on April 9. GGL will set up and operate the plant at its own cost. The plant will have a minimum capacity of processing 75 tonnes of wet waste per day (TPD). Apart from the plant, GGL will also set up and operate other infrastructure, like a CNG station and Cascades (storage system), for utilisation of the CBG.
