DISPOSAL OF WASTE
RAJYA SABHA
Ministry of Non-conventional
Energy Sources is implementing the National programme for Energy
Recovery from Urban and Industrial Wastes for promotion of projects
based on various new technologies such as biomethanation, pyrolysis/gasification
and combustion for processing and disposal of wastes. These technologies
are based on bio-chemical and thermo-chemical processes.
Besides generation
of power, application of waste-to-energy technologies helps in
improving waste management by treating wastes and reducing their
quantities for final disposal.
This information
was given by the Minister of State for Non-Conventional energy
Sources, Shri M. Kannappan in a written reply to a question by
Shri Prasanta Chatterjee in the Rajya Sabha today.
