Chennai Corporation Commissioner Inspects Bio-Gas Plants in Anna Nagar

Chennai Corporation Commissioner GS Sameeran conducted inspections of bio-gas production plants in the Madhavaram and Anna Nagar zones on Friday. The visit aimed to assess and improve the utilisation of waste to enhance bio-gas production. In Madhavaram, Sameeran reviewed two plants established under a public-private partnership model, each capable of processing 100 metric tonnes of vegetable and food waste. He emphasized the need for better waste utilisation to boost gas output.

In Anna Nagar, Sameeran inspected another facility at Chetpet, which also processes 100 metric tonnes of waste. He instructed officials to ensure a consistent daily supply of wet waste to maintain smooth operations. The project is designed to facilitate scientific waste disposal while producing eco-friendly fuel for public use.

Additionally, Sameeran visited the site of a proposed bio-gas plant at the Metro Water board’s tertiary sewage treatment plant campus in Koyambedu, urging officials to commence work promptly. The inspections were accompanied by Joint Commissioner (Health) VP Jeyaseelan, North Regional Deputy Commissioner Katta Ravi Teja, and other officials.
