Landfills are always an eyesore and something good coming out of it is unimaginable. However, India's largest Landfill Gas to Compressed Biogas Plant has come up at Hyderabad Integrated Municipal Solid Waste (HiMSW) site and this is a remarkable achievement, unprecedented in the world.
This large-scale Landfill Gas to CBG project, which is the first of its kind, has been recognized as the most innovative environmental project. This ground-breaking project will accelerate not only India's sustainable waste management journey but also the greening of the Indian automotive sector.
One of the largest municipal trash landfills in India was successfully converted into a significant source of sustainable energy and eco-friendly vehicle fuel, which is a remarkable example of circular economy innovation at scale.
The project was undertaken under the Sustainable Alternative Towards Affordable Transportation (SATAT) scheme launched by the Government of India in 2018.The compressed biogas is sold to Bhagyanagar Gas Limited through its retail locations in Hyderabad.
