Madurai plans to produce green coal from waste

The Madurai Corporation wants to build a facility at the Vellaikal dumpyard that can turn municipal solid waste into torrefied (dried and environmentally beneficial) charcoal, taking a page from Varanasi, the seat of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Torrefied charcoal, which resembles a cake and is identical to natural coal, can be used to generate electricity in thermal power plants in combination with fuel.

"With assistance from National Thermal Power Corporation, Varanasi Municipal Corporation is now constructing a facility that can manufacture green coal from municipal garbage (NTPC).

If both the state and federal governments accept the project, Madurai will be the second city in the nation to have it "She spoke. The mayor claimed that the proposed facility will deal with the issue of waste segregation, a significant barrier to municipal solid waste management.

Indrani Ponvasanth stated that actions have been taken to raise the general fund with the corporation and increase tax collections in relation to the revenue produced by the corporation.
