Haryana Set to Revolutionize Waste Management with Green Coal Plants

Haryana is set to implement waste-to-charcoal plants, also known as green coal plants. An MoU will be signed between NTPC Vidyut Vyapar Nigam Ltd (NVVNL) and the Haryana Government, with initial installations in Gurugram-Manesar and Faridabad. The initiative aims to address municipal solid waste while increasing energy production.

Haryana is poised to spearhead a major shift in waste management by introducing waste-to-charcoal plants, commonly known as green coal plants, according to an official statement released on Sunday.

NTPC Vidyut Vyapar Nigam Ltd (NVVNL) will collaborate with the Haryana Government to establish these plants, starting in key urban centers like Gurugram-Manesar and Faridabad. This innovative project, lauded by Union Power and Housing and Urban Affairs Minister Manohar Lal Khattar, aims to tackle the growing municipal solid waste problem and generate renewable energy.

In a recent meeting at Shram Shakti Bhawan, Khattar underscored his commitment to this initiative, which involves converting solid waste into bio-coal, a sustainable energy source that can be co-mixed with regular coal for power generation. Following successful implantation in Varanasi, NVVNL plans expansions to other cities, including Haldwani, Vadodara, and Bhopal.
