Kerala Advances Organic Waste Management with Two Compressed Biogas Plants
Two compressed biogas (CBG) plants in Kerala are advancing efforts to manage organic waste sustainably. Thrissur Corporation's 30-tonne capacity plant near Shaktan bus stand is nearing completion, aiming for commissioning by November 1 with products marketed under the Corporation's brand. Meanwhile, the BPCL-Kochi Refinery-funded Brahmapuram plant, commissioned in February 2026, currently processes about 50 tonnes daily but plans to reach full 150-tonne capacity by mid-August. Challenges include waste segregation and operational delays, with both entities working to optimize performance and reduce environmental impact.
