Principal Investigator
IITM
Objective
- The project aims to design and implement a bio-augmented cover system to mitigate methane emissions from MSW dumpsites.
Description
- By utilising specialised methanotrophs to cut methane emissions, foster sustainability, and support the circular economy by transforming methane into valuable biomass-based products like biodiesel.
Impact
- The project's impacts include methane emission reduction, alignment with the Global Methane Pledge, methane-to-biodiesel conversion, promotion of sustainable waste management, and global initiative inspiration.
