Compressed biogas may replace LPG at homes
Bruhat
Bangalore Mahanagara Palike and Bruhat Bangalore Hotel Association
(BBHA) have entered into an agreement with Noble Exchange Environment
Solutions (NEX), an expert in waste management, to utilise wet waste
generated by hoteliers to produce CBG, which can replace LPG.
The
wet waste generated by BBHA will be collected by NEX and disposed of in
an environmentally efficient manner while dry waste generated will be
transported either to dry waste collection centres (DWCC) operated by
BBMP or processed by NEX at their plant designed. NEX authorities
claimed they will provide zero odour and zero drip waste bins and
compostible garbage bags. BBHA members will have to segregate organic
waste into these bins.
After collecting waste from hoteliers,
NEX will utilise them to generate CBG. Such CBG, packed into
cylinders/caskets is already available on commercial terms to customers
who can use the same for replacement of LPG, NEX officials claimed.
