Electricity can be generated by treating the waste generated in public institutions like Markets, Slaughter Houses, Hospitals etc. The waste is converted into biogas by anaerobic digestion. The gas can be utilized for power generation. This power can be utilized to meet in-house requirement of the treatment plant and for local electrification like street lighting.
With the technical guidance of BIOTECH, several local bodies have utilized the waste to electricity projects in the state. All these plants are functioning very well.
