Belgium’s Vito will shortly launch a biodiesel project in Ayodhya

26 Apr 2023 CW Team

Ayodhya will soon see the start of a project by the Belgian company Vito to produce biodiesel from trash. The two-year trial project has been chosen for the temple town. The business, whose representatives have started working on the project, mainly focuses on "cleantech" and sustainable development. First-round consultations with representatives of the Ayodhya administration were held last week by Vito's Asia-Pacific chief Hafeez Rehman and other executives. They also planned a workshop for the employees of the Ayodhya Municipal Corporation.

Vishal Singh, the municipal commissioner, claims that the company will initially produce biodiesel using one tonne of plastic garbage. It will utilise the facilities held by the corporation before establishing its own material recovery plant for waste segregation. Ayodhya was chosen for the experimental project, according to government authorities, since it will likely experience an increase in pilgrim foot traffic after the Ram Mandir opens to worshippers in January of next year.

As a result, there will be more waste produced, and the company will have a lot of problems with garbage disposal. A group participating in building the Ram Mandir, the Sri Ram Janmabhoomi Tirath Kshetra Trust, has predicted a monthly attendance of several lakhs of devotees. Officials from the corporation claim that the company will assist in the preparation of cardboards and other waste- derived products.
