Noida authority to construct biogas plant to manage animal waste

The Noida authority will set up a biogas plant to recycle the waste in an animal shelter located in Sector 94 of the city, officials announced.
The move is aimed at recycling the excrement at the Sector 94 animal shelter to avoid odour pollution.
There are at least 1,000 cows and other animals in Sector 94, meaning that managing waste is a challenge.
The health department has been directed to build the facility in the next three months, using the corporate social responsibility fund, via the HCL Foundation.
"We already have a biogas plant to recycle cow dung in Sector 135 animal shelter. We reuse the gas in this animal shelter. And now the same process will be followed in the Sector 94 animal shelter, where the biogas plant will address the animal waste issue scientifically. The biogas produced at Sector 94 animal shelter, the largest facility for stray animals, will be used here only," said another Noida authority official aware of the development.
