The biogas plant will be set up here in Gauri Kund
Dehradun: Around 7,000 mules are deployed each year during the Char Dham yatra to ferry pilgrims on the 16km trek to Kedarnath from Gaurikund. The authorities are now planning to put the massive waste generated by these animals to good use as clean energy, by setting up biogas plants that will convert dung to electricity to power villages in the region.
In the first phase, the Centre has sanctioned Rs 35 lakh for the first such plant in Gaurikund. Located at 6,000 feet, the plant will be able to process 1,250 kg of dung per day to produce 50kW of electricity, enough to power 25 houses and provide them with cooking gas, said officials. The electricity from the plant will also power lamp posts enroute the Himalayan shrine for better visibility.
