Hailed as a major advancement towards clean and environment-friendly energy, the first phase of Pakistan’s largest biomethane gas project, the Biogas Power Generator, was inaugurated on Monday in the Gadap district of Karachi, the nation’s financial hub.
Biomethane, also known as renewable natural gas, is a renewable fuel derived from organic waste. It offers a cleaner alternative to natural gas, suitable for use in homes, industries, and transportation.
During the event, Syed Qasim Naveed Qamar, Special Assistant to the Chief Minister of Sindh on Investment and Public-Private Partnership, announced that the plant, developed by M/s Bio Waste Energy Ventures Private Limited, will produce biomethane gas from cow and buffalo dung, according to a statement from Sindh’s Department of Investment.
