Guwahati Municipal Corporation has taken up a great initiative for installation of Bio-methanation cum Electric energy generation plant by using the segregated organic waste. Bio-methanation is a controlled anaerobic digestion process of organic waste which produces biogas and organic manure. The biogas can be either used for thermal purposes or can be used to generate electricity using genset.

On February 27, 2018, Guwahati Municipal Corporation in association with GPS Renewable Technology has laid the foundation stone for construction and installation of Bio-methanation cum Electric Energy Generation Plant at Chabipool, Paltanbazar, Guwahati. The event was presided over by Hon’ble Mayor, Sri Mrigen Sarania along with Hon’ble Deputy Mayor, Smt Bijuli Kalita Medhi and Smt Monalisa Goswami, IAS, Commissioner, Guwahati Municipal Corporation.  

The project is expected to be commenced from May 2018.
