Indian Oil to set up a biogas plant at Tirumala soon
Deccan ChronicleTIRUPATI: Indian Oil Corporation Limited is establishing a compressed biogas plant at Tirumala, whose feedstock will be biodegradable solid waste generated at the hill town. As part of Swachh Tirumala, the temple body had contemplated a municipal wet waste treatment plant at the hill town with Windrow technology, which would produce compost or manure and minimise the adverse impact on environment. Accordingly, TTD will bear 50 percent of the project cost, provide at least one-acre land at Tirumala, supply segregated 35–40 MT organic waste per day to the plant and use the CBG produced. IOC will bear the remaining 50 percent of the project cost, invite tenders, execute the project, lay a pipeline from CBG plant to storage point and, most importantly, provide technical know-how to the temple body.
