Waste-to-power plant coming up in Bangalore
The civic authorities of Bangalore seem to have come up with a unique plan as a segregation plant, biogas converter and a gas-to-power plant will be set up in a vacant land near NMKRV College.
The waste collected from eight wards in Padmanabhanagar Assembly constituency will be first segregated and converted to biogas. Then the biogas will be used to generate power.
The eight wards from which the mixed waste will be collected are – Yediyur, Karesandra, Ganesh Mandir, Banashankari Temple, Hosakerehalli, Chikkalsandra, Padmanabhanagar and Kumaraswamy Layout.
Officials say that the power plant will be able to generate one MW of power, which will be sufficient to meet the lighting needs of seven parks, one lake, one community hall, one primary health centre and a BBMP office in Yediyur ward.
