26 Mar 2025 CW Team

Biogas Plant to Process 200 Tonnes Daily The proposed facility will process approximately 200 tonnes of organic waste every day, significantly easing the burden on the city’s waste management system. MCC Commissioner Shaikh Tanveer Asif confirmed that the location for the plant has already been identified, and the proposal has been submitted to the government for approval. Once operational, the facility will help reduce landfill waste while generating clean energy.

Reducing Waste Accumulation in Mysuru Mysuru has been actively working to address its waste crisis. The city has already processed 40% of its 7 lakh tonnes of accumulated waste. The new biogas plant will further support these efforts by providing a sustainable method to manage daily waste, cutting down on methane emissions from decomposing waste, and producing renewable energy.

Public-Private Collaboration for Sustainability The waste-to-energy project highlights a collaborative approach between the public and private sectors. BPCL will set up and operate the plant as a non-profit initiative, ensuring that organic waste is effectively converted into biogas for fuel. MCC officials have also assured that necessary infrastructure, including access roads, will be developed to facilitate smooth operations.

Residents Welcome the Initiative Local residents near Vidyaranyapuram have expressed optimism about the project, hoping it will address long-standing concerns about waste management in the area. The initiative is expected to significantly reduce open dumping and improve environmental conditions.
