Recycled waste to empower Jaipur railway station soon

Garbage dumped in and around the Jaipur railway station premises would help cook food and run trains in the near future. Authorities of the North Western Railways (NWR) are coming up with two waste plants not only for the disposal of solid bio-degradable waste but also for the disposal of plastic. It will also be used for energy generation. The officials said that both the plants would be operational at the Jaipur railway station within this financial year. ´This would have a capacity of converting 500 kg biodegradable waste into 22 kg LPG equivalent of bio-gas which would be utilised in cooking at the railway station,´ said Tarun Jain, Chief Public Relations Officer, NWR.
