United Tractors is making headway in manufacturing power generators that could process garbage into energy. Riyad Ismail, General Manager, Operations, United Tractors told Sunday Times BT that they are talking to some companies which are processing milk here they have lot of waste material. He said that garbage material could be used to make bio-gas power generation for factories.
Mr Ismail was speaking to this newspaper on the sidelines of a press conference held in Colombo last week to announce the Power Sri Lanka 2010 International Expo which will be held at the Sri Lanka Exhibition and Conventional Centre from 3 to 5 June.
Garbage has now become a perennial menace in Sri Lanka where there appears to be no foreseeable solution. Mr Ismail said that they are having discussions with the industry in launching their garbage processing into energy and based on the response they would move ahead with the project. He said that there is some positive reaction towards their project among the industrialists due to the heavy fuel cost and other energy costs.
