KOCHI
Kerala may soon get rid of the perennial menace of managing biodegradable waste as public sector oil and gas companies have come forward in a big way to set up compressed biogas (CBG) units in at least 10 districts.
The foundation stone for the Kochi project, proposed by the BPCL-Kochi Refinery, is likely to be laid in January. The State government approved the detailed project report (DPR) of the Kochi project last week. A government order to this effect will be issued shortly. The public sector company will likely float the bid for the Kochi project in a few weeks. The project may be up and running by the end of 2024, said P. Rajeeve, Minister for Industries.
