The proposed compressed biogas (CBG) plant at Brahmapuram, being set up by Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd. (BPCL), moved an inch closer to reality with its groundbreaking done by Prime Minister Narendra Modi from Vigya Bhavan in New Delhi on Wednesday.
The CBG plant in Kochi will be built on land owned by the Kochi Corporation at Brahmapuram, according to a press release. The initiative aims to mitigate pollution and frequent fire at the Brahmapuram dumping yard. The plant would process 150 tonnes of organic waste, supplied by the Kochi Corporation, and produce compressed biogas, the press release said.
