Biogas industry can help reduce waste at landfill sites by 50%: IBA

Indian Biogas Association (IBA), an industry body of operators, manufacturers and planners of biogas plants, on Thursday said that the biogas industry can help reduce waste landing at landfill sites by almost 50 per cent in next three years. The per capita generation of waste in India stands at 0.4 kg, out of which roughly 50 per cent is organic in nature and can be potentially diverted to biogas plants, stated IBA in a statement.
