In India The Hindu reported that Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL) and Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) have come together to establish a biogas plant at Tirumala, with a capacity to handle 40 tons per day to ensure sustainable energy generation as well as efficient waste management.
The plant is required to primarily produce biogas intended for usage in kitchen burners/boilers for cooking or to produce steam for TTD’s Annadanam Complex. The biogas will be used as cooking fuel in TTD’s kitchen along with LPG, which is the primary fuel, according to the report.
