The Dev Training and Management Center, in collaboration with the Alternative Energy Promotion Center, has been managing 30,000 kg of rotting and odorous waste daily.
Dhangadhi Sub-metropolitan City operator Rabin Kant Pant said that out of the biogas plant’s consumption, about eight thousand kg of garbage is provided daily by the Dev Training and Management Center.
He said that the remaining garbage is collected from cowsheds, poultry farms, etc. It is reported that the biogas plant is producing biogas and dung fertilizer using rotting waste including vegetables, food waste, rotten fruits, cow dung, chicken droppings and other waste.
Pant informed that the biogas plant has been managing 30,000 kg of waste daily and producing 3,500 kg of organic fertilizer and 1,000 kg of biomethane gas daily.
The company has stated that efforts are being made to market the produced gas. The company has started the process to deliver the produced gas to households through a pipeline in collaboration with the provincial government.
The gas plant, established at a cost of 208.4 million rupees under the Alternative Energy Promotion Center’s ‘Best to Energy Project’, has been operational since last year. Pant said that 40 percent of the total cost was invested by the Alternative Energy Promotion Center and 60 percent by the Dev Training and Management Center.
