Asia's Largest CBG Plant Faces Minor Fire Ahead of March Debut
3 Feb
Summary
- Minor fire at Bhandewadi dumping site on January 30 contained.
- Nagpur's ambitious garbage-to-CBG project to start operations in March.
- Asia's largest CBG plant uses dry fermentation technology for waste processing.
Nagpur's waste management is set for a transformation with the imminent commissioning of its ambitious garbage-to-CBG project in March. A minor fire, contained on January 30 at the Bhandewadi dumping site, briefly drew attention to operations.
The incident involved refuse-derived fuel (RDF) stored temporarily at a facility managed by SusBde LOC Nagpur Private Ltd. The RDF is typically processed for cement kilns, and the accumulation led to the brief, contained fire.
This event underscores the importance of the fully operational, advanced CBG plant set to launch next month. Backed by Keva Group, it will be Asia's largest CBG facility utilizing dry fermentation technology.
Once active, the plant will process substantial municipal solid waste daily, producing compressed bio-gas (CBG) and organic manure. This will significantly reduce landfill burdens and enhance Nagpur's status in sustainable waste management and green energy.
