LPG gas goes out of fashion. Use garbage instead.

Belgaum City Corporation (BCC) plans to make use of garbage dumps in a revolutionary way. Piles of solid waste will be converted into biogas that can be used for cooking purposes. The biogas set up will be made mandatory in apartments, hotels, wedding venues etc, all of which are responsible for generating more than half of the 150 metric tonnes of garbage produced every day in the city.

The only way to constructively minimize solid waste and prevent future dumps is by recycling garbage through conversion into biogas, the authorities feel. Each biogas unit may cost between Rs 8000 to Rs 10,000. Through this, authorities predict lesser use of LPG gas cylinders and reduce pressure from existing landfills from overflowing. Workshops will be conducted soon in the city to educate the public on biogas operation and the BCC will also provide assistance in setting it up wherever planned.
The move has been much appreciated by both the public and commercial corporations.
