BERHAMPUR: The Berhampur Municipal Corporation plans to generate renewable energy from solid wastes. "We will set up a processing plant in PPP mode to utilize the municipal solid waste (MSW)," commissioner of the municipality Bhim Manseth said. Manure will be one of the remnants of the process.
The corporation has selected International Finance Corporation (IFC) as consultant for the project. It will conduct a feasibility study and adopt the technology that suits the town. Only then a tender will be floated inviting firms for preparation of the detailed project report (DPR) and the project cost would be known then. Around 200 metric tonnes of solid wastes is generated in the town everyday. The civic body has constructed boundary wall around 20 acre land at Chandania hill, on the outskirts of the town, for the plant. tnn
The corporation has also decided to campaign against use of polythene below 20 microns in thickness in the town from September 1. Instead, we will encourage people to use paper, cloth or jute bags, which are not harmful for the environment and are biodegradable, the commissioner
said.
