The Municipal Corporation of Delhi has finalised a plan to sign a foreign firm to find out the presence of methane and carbon dioxide gas in landfill sites of Delhi.
The decision follows an appeal of the World Bank made under the global warming project. The system is already in place in western countries and efforts are being made introduce it in developing countries as well. The World Bank has given Rs 2 crore to the MCD for this project. The work has already begun in Ghazipur and Tughlakabad landfill sites. And will soon start in Bhalswa Jahangirpur also. According to the MCD, these gases can be used for power generation.

According to them, these garbage produce 750 tonnes of gases everyday. If they are used for power generation, the MCD can benefit Rs 400 crore in the next five years.
Leader of the House Subhash Arya said, "A foreign firm is surveying the quantity of gas in the landfill sites. Once the survey is done, the contract will be signed." "The World Bank did not approach the MCD. But it was the MCD that approached the World Bank after some senior engineers noticed their offer on Internet," he added. The issue of methane gas was raised two years back when the MCD had planned to construct the modern slaughterhouse in Ghazipur. Source: Syed Ali Ahmed From Tribune News Service 30/Jun/2008
