Manesar: It will be set up in Gurugram-Manesar and Faridabad, with plans to expand to other cities in the state as well.
Haryana will soon have plants to make charcoal from waste, also known as green coal plants. A memorandum of understanding (MoU) will soon be signed between NTPC Vidyut Vyapar Nigam Limited (NVVNL) and the Haryana government for this plant. After setting up plants in Gurugram-Manesar and Faridabad, this initiative will also be expanded to other cities in Haryana.
This scheme is being implemented with the efforts of Union Energy, Housing, and Urban Affairs Minister Manohar Lal. NVVNL officials will soon visit some sites to set up green coal plants. To implement these plants, a meeting was held under the chairmanship of Manohar Lal at Shramik Shakti Bhawan, New Delhi, in which senior officials from the Haryana government participated.
To get rid of the ever-increasing solid waste in the cities, a detailed action plan is being prepared for the management of solid waste in the Municipal Corporation. During the meeting, NVVNL’s initiative to make green coal from solid waste was discussed in detail. It is worth mentioning that green coal, also known as bio-coal, is a sustainable alternative to conventional waste as it can be blended with regular coal for power generation in thermal power plants.
NVVNL has recently set up a plant in Varanasi to make green coal from solid waste. This plant will consume 600 tons of waste and produce 200 tons of green coal, leaving very little residue. NVVNL is also working in various phases to set up green coal plants in Haldwani, Vadodara, Noida, Gorakhpur, and Bhopal.
During the meeting, Union Minister Manohar Lal directed that green coal projects be set up in various districts of Haryana. Municipal Corporation Commissioner Dr. Narhari Singh Bangar informed us that the Municipal Corporation has already started this process and has shown some sites in Gurugram to NVVNL officials.
The Union Minister directed that the Municipal Corporation, in collaboration with NVVNL, set up a green coal plant at Bandhwari or alternative sites around Gurugram and Manesar. He said that this plant should be capable of disposing of about 1200 tons of solid waste per day. Similarly, Faridabad Municipal Corporation, in collaboration with NVVNL, should initiate the process of setting up a plant with a capacity with a capacity of 1000 tons per day on the available land in the village of Mothuka. Setting up waste-to-green coal plants in Gurugram, Manesar, and Faridabad will not only provide a permanent solution to the waste problem but will also increase energy production.
