The Kochi Corporation's compressed biogas (CBG) plant at Brahmapuram is set to be inaugurated by Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on February 27. The plant can treat 150 tonnes of source-segregated solid waste and is expected to produce nearly 6 metric tonnes of CBG and 128 tonnes of organic manure.

The CBG will be transported to BPCL's plant via a 3.2 km pipeline. The project, funded by BPCL with an investment of ₹90 crore, includes two biodigesters. Initial trial runs began in December 2025, and the plant aims to address local waste management needs, generating over 150 tonnes of waste per day.
