Gas Authority of India Limited (GAIL) has proposed to set up a 300 tonnes per day (TPD) municipal solid waste (CBG) based compressed biogas plant at Karnataka Compost Development Corporation (KCDC) premises in Bengaluru. The project is estimated to cost ₹123.42 crore.

The proposed approximately 18-acre facility will process 300 tonnes of sorted organic municipal waste per day to produce 12.6 tonnes of CBG and 21.6 tonnes of Fermented Organic Manure (FOM).

An informational meeting about the project was organized on Wednesday. The biogas produced at the facility will be supplied to GAIL Gas, a 100% subsidiary of GAIL, for distribution as a clean fuel.

According to GAIL, the plant is expected to reduce dependence on landfills and provide a sustainable solution for processing the city’s organic waste. It will also have odor control and wastewater treatment systems to minimize environmental impact.

The project is taken up as part of efforts to strengthen waste management infrastructure in Karnataka to promote a circular economy by converting municipal waste into clean energy and organic manure.
