The Lucknow Municipal Corporation (LMC) is making strides to revive a waste-to-energy project that was stalled in 2017. The LMC has issued a tender to appoint a transaction advisor who will create a comprehensive roadmap for the initiative. This project aims to process non-recyclable waste into renewable energy, significantly reducing landfill dependency by up to 90% and curbing methane emissions, which are harmful to the environment. The selected advisor will study suitable technology and operational mechanisms, and submit a detailed report within six months. This report will be crucial for determining the feasibility and execution strategy of the plant at the Shivri waste processing facility. The LMC plans to avoid past mistakes by ensuring thorough planning and accountability, drawing on successful models from cities like Ahmedabad, Delhi, and Bengaluru. Notably, LMC will not invest its own funds directly but will seek external participation to develop the facility.
