Biogas plant at Palayam
The City Corporation will set up a biogas plant which can process two tonnes of waste a day at the Connemara Market, Palayam, by June 1.
Officials said this was one of the largest waste-to-energy projects to be undertaken by them and much of the work was over. The inaugural date was befitting as the southwest monsoon was expected to set in. As much as Rs.29 lakh, provided by the Kerala Sustainable Urban Development Project, was being utilised for the project, Welfare standing committee chairperson Palayam Rajan said. Biogas plants would be set up at the Peroorkada market and the Sree Chitra Home campus as part of a sustained process, sources said.
