Greater Chennai Corporation (GCC) is expected to prepare a detailed project report (DPR) for two new waste to energy compressed natural gas (CNG) plants in Chennai, Tamil Nadu by January 2023.
In order to achieve 100 per cent processing of municipal solid waste in the city of Chennai, GCC is exploring the possibility of setting up 2 high capacity bio waste to energy compressed natural gas (CNG) plants each with 500 tonne per day (tpd) capacity to process the segregated wet waste in the city. One of these plants are likely to be set up in the North Chennai area while the another in South Chennai which is expected to minimise the quantity of waste sent to the Perungudi and Kodungaiyur dump yards.
