Indore - A City Transformed

The city of Indore was driven to success by strong political and administrative commitment to improving waste management through comprehensive source segregated waste collection, recycling of dry waste, treatment of wet waste, and minimal waste being disposed at a sanitary landfill. The city launched multiple awareness campaigns that educated the public on waste segregation and household composting and implemented a 15-acre biogas plant that can process 500 tons of waste per day and mitigate 130,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent per year. Within one year (2016-2017), Indore was ranked the cleanest city in India in a national cleanliness survey of cities.

How India’s Cleanest City Reduces Methane Emissions from Municipal Solid Waste

A case study on Indore’s waste management keys to success: Indore, the largest city in the state of Madhya Pradesh, India, has consistently ranked the “cleanest city in India” since 2017. In October 2023, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, on behalf of the Global Methane Initiative, conducted a study tour of Indore that brought other waste management officials to learn about Indore’s improved waste management. This case study provides an overview of the factors that contributed to the successful transformation of Indore’s waste management system, including leadership buy-in, public engagement and participation, pilot testing, infrastructure upgrades, and innovative financing. It can serve as a model for cities around the world to improve solid waste management and reduce methane emissions and other climate pollutants.

Methane Recovery Project in the Jharia Coalfield

A joint venture bid was awarded for the rights to extract coal mine methane from the coal mine Jharia CBM Block-I for reuse as an alternative source. The project aims to capture methane for 25+ years. The methane will then be injected into the national pipeline grid and can be used as an alternative energy source. Lives of the local population should be improved by both reducing greenhouse gas emissions and providing economic advantages.
