Gr Noida gaushala set to get first biogas plant
Noida: The Greater Noida Industrial Development Authority (GNIDA) has initiated work on for its first compressed biogas plant at the authority-run cow shelter in Jalpura village. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The plant, which will process 50 tonnes of cattle dung daily, is designed to produce compressed natural gas (CNG) that can be used to fuel vehicles and kitchens. Using anaerobic digestion, the bio-CNG plant will convert cow dung into eco-friendly fuel, offering a sustainable solution that also generates revenue for the shelter's upkeep and helps in effective waste management, officials said. The foundation stone for the project was laid at a ceremony on Monday, which was attended by Dadri MLA Tejpal Nagar and GNIDA Additional CEO Shrilakshmi VS. The plant, set to come up at a cost of Rs 20 crore, is fully funded by a private agency hired by GNIDA and is expected to be ready within a year. "The initiative is a step forward in promoting cow welfare and self-reliance. The well-maintained cows at the shelter reflect the care being provided, and the new plant will further improve operations by turning waste into fuel and income," the Dadri MLA said. The Jalpura shelter, located near Jalpura village about 12km from Pari Chowk, spans 16 acres and currently houses around 1,500 cows. The biogas plant aims to address a long-pending need in the area. Local cattle rearers will be able to sell cow dung to facility, creating a new source of income and promoting rural cleanliness and hygiene, officials said. Additional CEO Shrilakshmi VS said that the plant aligns with the Green India, Clean India campaign. She appealed to cattle owners to avoid dumping cow dung in drains or sewers, which often causes blockages.
