Village in Tamil Nadu converts food waste into energy

In the village of Kanjirangal, Tamil Nadu state, organic waste is processed into biogas and electricity. This system allows for soil fertilization while simultaneously powering streetlights and battery-powered vehicles.

Instead of sending food waste to landfills, this model transforms it into a valuable resource. Kanjirangal demonstrates examples of sustainable villages, circular economy solutions, as well as the application of biogas plants and electric mobility.

Food waste becomes an energy source, and the remaining material returns to the earth as fertilizer. This simple concept carries a powerful message that what we consider waste can find a second life.
