A delegation from Germany and France has arrived in Muzaffarpur to evaluate a new waste‑to‑biogas project that will also use AI for monitoring city cleanliness.
Muzaffarpur city has welcomed a team of experts from Germany and France to assess a pioneering waste‑to‑biogas initiative. The project aims to convert municipal waste into renewable energy while simultaneously employing artificial intelligence to monitor cleanliness.
The international delegation will spend three days in the city, reviewing the technology, infrastructure, and operational plans. They will also meet with local officials and waste management authorities to understand the challenges and opportunities.
According to sources, the biogas plant will process organic waste from households and commercial establishments, producing energy that can power street lighting and public facilities. The AI system will analyze data from sensors placed across the city to identify hotspots and optimize garbage collection routes.
The initiative is part of Muzaffarpur’s broader sustainability agenda, which seeks to reduce landfill usage and promote renewable energy. The presence of foreign experts underscores the city’s commitment to adopting cutting‑edge technology for urban cleanliness.
The team’s findings will be presented to the municipal council at the end of their visit, with a view to scaling the project across other districts in Bihar.
