Animal waste to be converted into manure or electricity
The Chennai Corporation has decided to put animal waste to good use after the National Green Tribunal (NGT) bent pulled it up for inefficient disposal. A bio methanation plant will be set up to treat waste from slaughterhouses and generate power and organic manure. The houses in Villivakkam and Saidapet regenerate half a tonne of waste every day. The one at Perambur generates 8 tonnes a day.
A senior Corporation official said, We plan to have a plant at Perambur where all animal waste will be processed. There are similar plants set up across the country. According to data, a tonne of treated waste can produce 100 kg of organic manure or 100 units of electricity.
