Under the MoU, it is proposed to set up Plasma Enhanced Gasification (PEGS) technology-based Waste to Energy pilot plant at SDMC Okhla Landfill site utilising 50 TPD Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF) & generating one MW of Electricity. The technology is eco-friendly as there are hardly any flue gases or bottom ash waste. The Pilot Plant is being setup for Technology demonstration.
