The garbage processing plant has been creating a lot of news
lately, because of the gridlock between the Chandigarh Municipal Corporation
and the Jay Pee Group. Now the Municipal Corporation has thought of a very good
use of the same ad they are now planning to use the solid waste at the plant
for generating power.
Jaypee Group is also currently using the solid waste to
create refuse-derived fuel and offer it further to the power and cement plants
in the area and other nearby places. The process has been kick-started by the
Municipal Corporation and they have already made a nine-member team and their aim is to have various companies who would
readily come forward to generate power by utilizing the solid waste.
The energy, which will be produced using this power plant,
will further be sold to different power companies. Another positive aspect of
this would be that the energy that is being produced here will be giving out
non-hazardous byproducts, which will be a result of the combustion process. The
whole trash will consist of not more than 10 percent of ashes, whereas the rest
of it can then further be used in construction of roads, and even at brick-kilns.
The Municipal Corporation has to now finalize on the company that will be
producing power through this plant and will further sell out to other
companies. The rate at which power would be sold to other companies will be
around Rs. 7.90 per unit.
Last year, the municipal corporation had refused to give out
tipping charges to the Jaypee Group, for their efforts of producing power from
the garbage; therefore they had planned to shut down the process soon. But now
things are back on track and power will be produced through the same.
Also, the municipal corporation has many more plans of
introducing new technologies, with the help of which, dumping of garbage
wouldn’t be required in that area and the corporation can then use this dumping
ground for various other useful purposes.
