Hundreds of birds hovering in the distant horizon are the first giveaway. Then the stench hits you, long before you actually see what appears to be a small hillock on NH24. Close to the border of Delhi and Ghaziabad, this is the Ghazipur landfill — 30 acres of filth that reached and breached saturation years ago and now just lies there, an enormous eyesore and a huge environmental hazard.
Getting rid of it — and of the over-8,000 tonnes of garbage the capital city continues to generate each day — is a gargantuan task. But last year, a solution was found for Ghazipur: a power plant is being constructed at the landfill, which will use the garbage as feedstock to generate 10 MW of electricity. Executed by IL&FS, this will be India’s second waste-to-energy (WtE) power plant of its kind. The first — located some distance away at Okhla — started generating electricity in January this year. The Rs 250-crore, 16 MW plant has been set up by Jindal ITF as a public-private partnership with the government of Delhi and will ultimately process about a third of the municipal solid waste (MSW, which is generated mainly by households) in the city.

At an electronics recycling plant in Singapore's Tuas industrial zone, tons of electronic wastes are fed to the facility for the recovery of materials like steel, copper, plastic, and also silver and gold.
The concentration of some precious metals in the electronic wastes is higher than ore found in mines, said Fons Krist, executive director for sales and marketing at Cimelia Resource Recovery Pte Ltd, which operates the plant.
Krist said the company typically expects about 150 grams of gold to be recovered from a ton of printed circuit boards -- mostly from old computers, hard drives and other equipment.
"It is an interesting industry and it is still a growing industry, with electronic scrap being the fastest growing solid waste stream in the world," he said in an interview with Xinhua ahead of the inaugural CleanEnviro Summit Singapore, which gathers industry players from the region and beyond on July 1-5.
"Electronic recycling is dubbed urban mining. It is kind of silly not to recycle and re-use it," Krist said. "But it has to be done properly."

PETITE, bespectacled Shyam Patra doesn't come across as someone who has lighted up lives in 400 villages in the Bhagalpur district of Bihar, and Gonda and Unnao district of UP. But his company Nature Infratech, started in 2009, has already installed solar energy-based micro grids in these villages, which don't even have proper road connectivity.
Having worked in the power sector with companies like GMR and Lanco, his experience is well evident when he sells solar generated electricity at price as cheap as Rs 120/month for 5 hours of electricity "I had worked in MNCs but that kind of work didn't create a social impact or changed lives, completely opposite to what I wanted to do - reach to the havenots ," said Patra.

IT'S my passion to build ideas that are useful and have real scope to reduce either cost or efforts," says 22 year old Sharma. One may tend to shrug him off as an amateur dreamer if not for his list of innovations, which include rooftop installed wind-turbine , solar powerrun car and zero electricity refrigerator.
Out of these, roof-top wind turbine is a commercial success helping his company Breson clock revenues worth Rs 15 lakh in just 6 months. An engineer by education and innovator by nature, Sharma has developed wind turbines of 800W, 1,000W and 5,000W capacity, in accordance with the wind speeds. He did all this while pursuing his Masters in Business Design from Welingkar Institute of Management and Research, Mumbai.

WHAT if one solar panel is built like a sunflower which sense and tracks sunlight the whole day in place of four panels kept in different direction? USreturn software engineers Raghuram and Reddy developed this very idea to clock a turnover of Rs 2 crore in just one year for their joint venture 'SmartTrak Solar Systems' .
A solar tracker is an electro-mechanical platform fitted with panels, which follows the sun ensuring that maximum amount of sunlight strikes the panels throughout the day. "In conventional means, to increase the production by 25%, one has to set-up more solar PV panels .

'SWADES' STORY IN REAL
Siddharth Malik, 30 Megawatt Solutions, Delhi
AN engineering and management degree from University of Pennsylvania, a flourishing career with energy-focused companies in the US where the base package is a sinful $1,00,0000 per annum. What more can you ask for?
Well, Siddharth Malik had ideas. This passionate 30-year old left all this to come back to India and start his own renewable energy venture amalgamating high-performing solar-thermal systems with fossil fuels.
He started Megawatts Solutions in 2010, which provides concentrated solar-thermal solutions. "At least when sun is shining, fossils need not be fired," says Malik, adding, "this simple idea creates long-term economic value for industry owners." Its 0.5-mw pilot project in Guragon provides a hybrid solution by integrating solarthermal with fossil fuel that offers considerably higher value than stand-alone solar thermal plants."
