28 Jun 2024 CW Team

Karnataka is set to launch its first waste-to-electricity plant in Bidadi, marking a significant leap towards sustainable waste management and renewable energy production. Scheduled to commence trial operations by mid-July, the plant aims to convert municipal solid waste into electricity, contributing to the state's energy security and environmental goals.

The plant, equipped with advanced technology, will process approximately 600 tonnes of waste daily, producing around 11.5 megawatts of electricity. This initiative aligns with Karnataka's efforts to reduce landfill dependency and mitigate environmental impacts associated with untreated waste. By converting waste into energy, the plant not only addresses waste management challenges but also generates clean energy for local consumption.

Officials anticipate the plant will play a crucial role in Karnataka's renewable energy portfolio, promoting sustainable development and supporting the state's transition towards a circular economy. Moreover, the project is expected to create employment opportunities and stimulate economic growth in the region.

The launch of Karnataka's first waste-to-electricity plant represents a milestone in the state's commitment to innovative environmental solutions and sustainable development. It sets a precedent for future waste management projects, emphasising the potential of converting waste into a valuable resource for energy production and environmental conservation.
