Wet garbage to briquettes: PMC allows pvt pilot project at Wadgaon biogas plant
PUNE The Pune Municipal corporation (PMC) has started a pilot project where a biogas will be used to process wet garbage and turn into briquettes (a biomass product with multiple uses) as a final product.
A private company will operate the Wadgaon-Budruk (Sinhgad road) biogas plant to process 40 tonnes of wet garbage a day.
Of a total of 25 biogas plants in the city, the Wadgaon unit is spread over 10,000 square feet and is processing 10 tonnes of wet garbage per day.
The plant stopped working after rain damage during the September 2019 flash floods.
The PMC tried to, unsuccessfully, resurrect it.
