Goa-SEIAA urges builder to install biogas plant in housing complex

The Goa State Environment Impact Assessment Authority (Goa-SEIAA) grants an environment clearance (EC) for a residential complex located in Panaji having a condition that the wet waste generated in the residential complex shall be processed into a biogas plant as well as be used by the residents for cooking purposes.

The Goa-SEIAA has asked the builders to install rooftop rainwater harvesting in the complex. A part of the housing complex’s power requirements should be met using solar energy. The complex will be on a 10,000 sq m area in Panaji.

Goa-SEIAA said that the biodegradable waste should be treated in the biogas plant and the biogas should be used for cooking purposes in the residential complex. Local authorities are responsible to ensure compliance to the same.

The authority said that every major consumer of conventional power needs to generate and opt for a certain power generation percentage from non-conventional sources. The Project Proponent (PP) needs to make appropriate provisions and construct the roof-tops at the time of construction stage for enabling installation of solar panels.

Additionally, south-facing walls shall be used for the installation of solar panels to harness optimum solar energy.

Solar panels utilisation might be executed to the extent possible like installation of solar street lights and common solar water heater systems.

The PP needs to adopt rooftop rainwater conservation measures for optimal utilisation of water availability via constructing sumps for rainwater collection.
