BMC to inaugurate waste-to-energy plant near Haji Ali
The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) will on Friday inaugurate one of the first small-scale and localised waste-to-energy plants near Haji Ali. It can process 2 metric tonnes or 2,000 kg of wet waste per day.
The plant, developed on an abandoned plot at Keshvrao Khade road near Haji Ali circle spread over 2,000 square feet, can generate 80 to 110 cubic meters of gas per day and 125 to 250 units of electricity per metric tonne of waste. Biodegradable kitchen waste like fruit/vegetable peels, tea leaves, coffee powder, egg shells, meat and bones, food scraps, leaves and flowers, which can be composted, is categorised as wet waste.
