Janathakshan( Gte) Ltd started construction of Sri Lanka’s first
Biogas system with semi automated waste separating feed in system, The
Project is funded by the UNDP Every Drop Matters Project & the Kaduwela
Municipal council. The total project will cost LKR 10 million. The
project will enable to treat 1 tone of degradable waste daily. The biogas
produced from the unit will be used to generate electricity and will be fed in
to the grid using net metering technology.
Kaduwela Municipal Council has a good waste management center ,
the design of the project will enable treatment of leachate thus reducing
ground water pollution, reducing the free emission of methane due to open
dumping and production of liquid fertilizer from degradable waste. This
project if proven to be successful will create a landmark case study in waste
management and waste to energy projects in Sri Lanka.
The entire project solution was designed by an expert pool of
Janathakshan and was evaluated by an expert Panel nominated by UNDP.
