Oil companies keen to set up compressed biogas plants in 10 districts

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.
