An article in “The Hindu” has brought to focus about a town panchayat, which has started implementing a biogas power plant, that utilizes human waste. The night soil from 240 housing units of the TNHB housing colony will be deposited in a slump and after biological changes, the sludge will produce methane gas. This methane gas will be piped to a power generator. This would be used to power streetlights. This project claims the status as that of the first such alternate energy sourced power plant in kancheepuram district.
