Jawaharnagar Waste Plant to Open in August

A new waste-to-energy plant in Jawaharnagar is nearing completion and is expected to commence operations in August, according to the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC). Designed to handle 300 tonnes of compostable waste daily, the facility will use dry bio-methanation technology to convert organic waste into bio-CNG and high-quality compost.

The advanced system—already in use across several European nations—operates within a fully enclosed setup. This process not only reduces landfill-bound waste but also produces clean energy, aiding in the reduction of fossil fuel dependency and carbon emissions.

The GHMC stated that the plant will deploy the “Muller 3A” technique, a three-phase method involving aerobic, anaerobic, and aerobic treatment. Unlike conventional wet biogas systems, the dry method requires minimal water and eliminates odours and leachate leakage, as the entire process occurs in a sealed environment.

Key Benefits:
  • Higher biogas output: The process yields more methane, enabling efficient bio-CNG production.
  • Nutrient-rich compost: The residue serves as agricultural compost.
  • Urban scalability: The technology is adaptable for cities of varying sizes, offering a sustainable model for urban waste management.
The project is a part of GHMC’s broader initiative to implement sustainable and scalable waste solutions across Hyderabad.
