NAGPUR: Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) will manufacture Bio-CNG and green hydrogen from garbage, which will save the city money in terms of both capital and operation and maintenance costs. The municipality will extract Bio-CNG from around 1050 metric tonnes of waste.

NMC will send 1000 metric tonnes of wet and dry garbage to a firm in the Netherlands every day, and the company will buy 25 acres of land to build its plant and will also cover the costs of operation and maintenance. In exchange, the corporation has agreed to split a portion of its revenue with NMC.

Nitin Gadkari, Minister of Road, Transport and Highways, Government of India, has been promoting the benefits of biofuel, and the company offered the idea of producing bio-CNG from garbage to him, as revealed by Nagpur Mayor Dayashankar Tiwari. A Chennai-based startup intends to build a plant that will manufacture green hydrogen from 50 metric tonnes of garbage. “We received verification of two Neeri projects, which confirmed that they were possible and viable,” the mayor stated.
