Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport and Selco International, a Bangalore-based waste management company, recently tied up to build a waste-to-energy plant.
The airport’s operating company, Delhi International Airport Ltd (DIAL), and Selco will build a $30 million, 10MW plant that will generate energy from municipal waste.
It will be located at the town of Ghazipur in East Delhi with an expected completion date of late-2010. The plant will be capable of processing 1,300 tonnes of municipal waste daily. A project design document states that the plant will convert waste into eco-friendly fluff and pellets that would be fed into a boiler to produce power.
And while on sustainability of airports, here are some useful links on energy efficiency possibilities and potential in hotels, warehouses, airports, sports stadiums, hospitals and even prisons.
