Ratnagiri Methane Recovery
Installation of a wastewater treatment system that allows methane, a powerful greenhouse gas, to be recuperated and used as a source of renewable energy.
This wastewater treatment system should lead to a reduction in emissions of 26,256 tons of CO2eq
a year, which represents the emissions of 7,800 return flights between Brussels and Mumbay.
