MCD to Install 100 TPD Biogas Plant in Civil Lines to Combat Yamuna Pollution

• A 100 TPD compressed biogas plant is planned between Bhalaswa and Jharoda dairies in Civil Lines, Delhi.
• The plant aims to manage cattle waste from approximately 6,000 cattle, preventing it from entering the Yamuna.
• The National Dairy Development Board (NDDB) will submit the proposal to the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD).
• Experts note that dairy waste, though not the dominant source, is a manageable contributor to Yamuna pollution and can be converted into clean cooking fuel.
• The facility will have a capacity of 50 TPD each for Bhalaswa and Jharoda dairies, converting waste into resources like biogas.
