Mohsin Naqvi, the Caretaker Chief Minister of Punjab in Pakistan, officially inaugurated the nation's largest biogas plant on February 4th. This significant milestone follows Naqvi's directive to expedite the project's completion after laying its foundation stone last October.
Situated in Gujjar Colony, Lahore, the newly unveiled biogas facility boasts the capacity to produce 6,000 cubic meters of gas daily, utilizing 1,600 kilograms of dung. The plant is anticipated to yield 16,000 kilograms of organic fertilizer per day, offering farmers a resource to enhance crop yields per acre.
With an estimated cost of Rs350 million (approximately €1.1 million), the biogas plant is projected to generate an annual revenue of Rs80 million (approximately €266.1k). Naqvi, underscoring the government's commitment to environmental sustainability, also planted a sapling at the site during the inauguration ceremony.
This initiative aligns with Pakistan's broader efforts to promote renewable energy sources and foster agricultural growth through innovative solutions. The inauguration of the largest biogas plant signifies a step forward in the country's pursuit of sustainable energy practices and agricultural development.
