Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has inaugurated North East India’s first-ever compressed biogas plant project at Sonapur in the Kamrup district of Assam.
The plant will have a production capacity of five tonne-per-day of compressed biogas that would be produced from raw materials such as cattle dung, municipal solid wastes, etc.
Apart from providing a solution to municipal solid waste management crises, compressed biogas plants such as the one being built at Sonapur would also provide an additional source of income to farmers, as they would be able to sell cattle waste to the biogas producers.
The organic fertilizers that would be produced as a by-product of biogas in such compressed biogas plants would provide a safer alternative to chemical fertilizers currently in use across the state.
