1. Biogas is Eco-Friendly

Biogas is a renewable, as well as a clean, source of energy. Gas generated through biodigestion is non-polluting; it actually reduces greenhouse emissions (i.e. reduces the greenhouse effect). No combustion takes place in the process, meaning there is zero emission of greenhouse gasses to the atmosphere; therefore, using landfill gas as a form of energy production is actually a great way to combat global warming. Unsurprisingly, concern for the environment is a major reason why the use of biogas has become more widespread. Biogas plants significantly curb the greenhouse effect: the plants lower methane emissions by capturing this harmful gas and using it as fuel. Biogas generation helps cut reliance on the use of fossil fuels, such as oil and coal. Another biogas advantage is that, unlike other types of renewable energies, the process is natural, not requiring energy for the generation process. In addition, the raw materials used in the production of biogas are renewable, as trees and crops will continue to grow. Manure, food scraps, and crop residue are raw materials that will always be available, which makes it a highly sustainable option.

2. Biogas Generation Reduces Soil and Water Pollution

Overflowing landfills don't only spread foul smells- they also allow toxic liquids to drain into underground water sources. Consequently, yet another advantage of biogas is that biogas generation may improve water quality. Moreover, anaerobic digestion deactivates pathogens and parasites; thus, its also quite effective in reducing the incidence of waterborne diseases. Similarly, waste collection, and management, significantly improve in areas with biogas plants. This, in turn, leads to improvements in the environment, sanitation, and hygiene.

3. Biogas Generation Produces Organic Fertilizer

The by-product of the biogas generation process is enriched organic (digestate), which is a perfect supplement to, or substitute for, chemical fertilizers. Furthermore, this digestate mitigates erosion.

4. It's A Simple and Low-Cost Technology That Encourages A Circular Economy

The technology used to produce biogas is quite cheap. It is easy to set up and needs little investment when on a small scale. Small biodigesters can be used right at home, utilizing kitchen waste and animal manure. A household system pays for itself after a while, and the materials used for generation are absolutely free. The gas manifested can be used directly for cooking and generation of electricity. This is what allows the cost of biogas production to be relatively low. Farms can make use of biogas plants and waste products produced by their livestock every day. The waste products of one cow can provide enough energy to power a lightbulb for an entire day. In large plants, biogas can also be compressed to achieve the quality of natural gas, and utilized to power automobiles. Building such plants requires relatively low capital investment, and creates green jobs. For instance, in India, 10 million jobs were created, mostly in rural areas, in plants and in organic waste collection.

5. Healthy Cooking Alternative For Developing Areas

Biogas generators save women and children from the daunting task of firewood collection. As a result, more time is left over for cooking and clean. More importantly, cooking on a gas stove, instead of over an open fire, prevents the family from being exposed to smoke in the kitchen. This helps prevent deadly respiratory diseases. Sadly, 4.3 million people a year die prematurely from illness attributable to the household air pollution caused by the inefficient use of solid fuels for cooking.

The fuel free solid waste dispenser with the unique CORT (Controlled Oxygen Rotating Technology) turns any solid waste material permitted to be incinerated into pure ash within minutes adhering to relevant emission standards. Within 3 to 4 minutes, the temperature inside the closed chamber reachesvery high depending upon the nature of the waste material. The high quality steel chimney which can stand up to a temperature of 700 degree centigrade makes it lasting.

The urban Indian citizen generates nearly 700 grams of solid waste per person per day which is nearly 250 kg in a year. More than half of what we carelessly throw into the trash is organic matter, which if composted, can produce rich top soil for our plants. Unfortunately most of us do not segregate our dry waste from wet waste, which makes composting impossible. The precious wet waste what can potentially become black gold remains unusable junk inside our landfills. Also, by mixing our food waste with our recyclable waste (paper, plastic, metal), we make even our recyclable waste less recoverable. If we pass on this responsibility to the Municipality without source segregation, we recover abysmally low levels of value from our trash. Due to poor source segregation, Municipalities in India are currently able to compost only 0.21 % of the wet waste we throw away. The key to a clean, garbage free city lies in citizens doing their civic duty of source segregation and composting. What is Composting? Composting is simply the process of breaking down the organic matter (food waste) in the presence of air and water, using micro organisms and small insects present in nature. The end product is called compost which is rich in readily usable plant nutrients forming a part of healthy soil.
Composting organisms require 4 conditions to create compost:
1. Carbon that comes from brown organic matter like dried leaves, sawdust, paper
2. Nitrogen that comes from fruit and vegetable waste, coffee grounds
3. Oxygen which comes from air
4. Water in the right amounts Landfills are not the ideal environment to create compost, since food waste is made toxic by the plastic and metal waste. Further waste gets piled up everyday like a mountain and the layers below are cut off from oxygen


6.5 easy steps to compost your kitchen waste


1. Separate your edible kitchen waste (vegetable peels, fruit peels, small amounts of wasted cooked food) in a container
2. Collect dry organic matter (dried leaves, sawdust) in a small container
3. Take a large earthen pot or a bucket and drill 4 to 5 holes around the container at different levels to let air inside.
4. Line the bottom with a layer of soil.
5. Now start adding food waste in layers alternating wet waste (food scraps, vegetable and fruit peels) with dry waste (straw, sawdust, dried leaves).


6. Cover this container with a plastic sheet or a plank of wood to help retain moisture and heat. Every few days, use a rake to give the pile a quick turn to provide aeration. If you think the pile is too dry, sprinkle some water so that it is moist. Within 2 - 3 months, your pile should start forming compost that is dry, dark brown and crumbly and smelling of earth. There are also readymade composting kits available for those who want to overcome initial resistance to starting composting. With time and a little patience, composting will become second nature to you. By segregating, recycling and composting, a family of 4 can reduce their waste from 1000 Kg to less than 100 kg every year. Imagine 90% of all the garbage in Chennai vanishing overnight and a clean, green city- it will help you start your composting journey.

Benefits and Advantages

Wastewater is anything from water that flows down the sink or toilet to runoff from snow and rain that enters storm drainage systems. Wastewater treatment processes remove a variety of contaminants from water to make it usable again. The benefits of such treatment depend on the nature of the contaminants in the water and the end use of the water treated. The sewerage project in respect of which considerable public and social resources are being used, form a basic infrastructure for the country and an indisputable indicator of civilisation and development. The works cover a number of substantial social needs and aim to improve the quality of life and to protect public health and the environment. Some of the benefits and advantages of the sewerage system are as follows:

(a) Upgrading the quality of life The quality of life and the hygienic conditions in the areas where the system operates have already improved. The operation of the sewerage system has relieved these areas to a great extent from previous problems that were caused by the continuous emptying of cesspools. In the past, hotels and blocks of apartments were required to empty and maintain septic tanks and soak ways. The sewerage system provides a healthier and more appropriate way to manage liquid wastes.
(b) Preserving the natural environment Previously, all sewage waste was discharged in septic tanks and cesspits, resulting in the pollution of the ground water of the areas where such waste was discharged. Polluted waters then ended in the sea and caused various risks and other environmental problems. With the operation of the sewerage system no more pollution of ground water is effected and the discharge of sewage waste in the area of “Vati” outside Lemesos has significantly been reduced. In the past, all sewage waste was discharged at “Vati” creating thus a serious environmental problem in the area and in the Polemidia Dam. Sewage waste discharged at Vati has been reduced by approximately 60%. Moreover, the wastewater treatment plant produces by-products such as treated biosolids and methane. Treated sludge is used as a soil-improving substance mainly for tree cultivations whilst methane is being used for electricity generation, covering part of the power, required to operate the plant.
(c) Saving and processing waters Water is a substantial natural resource for our country and it should be managed in the best possible manner. The tertiary treated effluent at the wastewater treatment plant is reused for agricultural and other purposes. On completion of the project, the amount of water to be saved is expected to exceed 10 million cubic metres per year, which equals approximately the amount of water reserved in the Germasogia Dam. Today around 4 million cubic metres of water are reused per annum.
(d) Saving of money It is estimated that the operation of Phase A of the system helps to save over an approximate of 3.5 million Euro per year otherwise spent on the discharge of Greater Limassol waste water at “Vati” area. In the long term, the central sewerage system will cause big savings to be made regarding the construction and maintenance of private smaller cesspools.
(e) Economic development and tourism The most significant advantage of the system is maintaining sustainable development, the protection of the environment and improvement of the quality of life in our town, with a further impact on the development of tourism and the economy in general.
(f) Flooding incidences The construction of main stormwater drainage systems reduces the social and financial consequences resulting from the direct damage on properties caused by flooding, or even destruction of basic infrastructure such as roads, pavements and underground cables. It also reduces any indirect damage caused by traffic congestion and minimises pedestrian difficulties. Moreover, uncontrolled flooding and the flow of surface water causes nuisance and public health problems, development of mosquitoes, accumulation of litter, grease and other pollutants.
(g) Standard of living As a result of the above, the sewerage system contributes to further development and increase of the standard of living of the town of Limassol inhabitants. Considering all the above advantages, there is no doubt that if we all cooperate, ourselves and our children will enjoy a better quality of life in the years to come and that we will secure a better environment to the forthcoming generations.
