Wet waste generated daily in Bengaluru has the potential to produce about 200 tonnes of biogas, accounting for nearly 20% of the total gas consumed by restaurants in the city.

This idea was put forth by Som Narayan, co-founder and director of Carbon Masters, which operates a biomethanisation plant in Koramangala. He made the suggestion during an inspection of the facility by M. Maheshwar Rao, Chief Commissioner of the Greater Bengaluru Authority (GBA), on Saturday, pitching the idea of setting up more such units across the city.
