New technology has been developed to produce electricity from garbage. Correct Answer True

Yes, new technology has been developed to produce electricity from garbage. Since, in India, power cuts and the increasing piles of rotting garbage are an everyday concern, this new development aims at getting rid of both the problems in one go. A pilot plant has been set up, where after removing ferrous metals, plastic, glass, paper, etc. from garbage, it is mixed with water. It is then cultured with bacterial species for producing methane, commonly known as biogas. The remaining product is used as manure and biogas is used to produce electricity.
