The Capital's bio-methanation plant is to be set up in Ghazipur by East Municipal Corporation of Delhi, to dispose of illegal waste generated from slaughterhouses and to produce bio-gas from them. This will not only help in managing discharge of waste on a daily basis, but a huge quantity of waste produced since the commissioning of the slaughterhouse will also be treated.

As per the report, the proposed plant will come up on a 0.9 acre area and will come up in proximity of the slaughterhouse and live stock market in Ghazipur. The plant will have a capacity to treat 70 tonne of illegal waste per day, and a total of Rs 10.05 crore will be spent on it, which will be borne by a private player.

As the plant will be constructed on a PPP model, the civic body will pay the treatment cost to the private body which will not only bear the construction cost but will also ensure its upkeep and maintenance.
