"A successful experiment for making biogas from biodegradable animal waste has been conducted at Lakhodair in Lahore for the first time in history," announced Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif on Monday while chairing a briefing on the project of Lahore Waste Management Company (LWMC).
She directed the authorities concerned to start the 'Waste to Value' project under the Suthra Punjab Programme at the earliest.
The chief minister was informed that up to 25,000Kg of gas can be produced from 1,000 metric tonnes of waste, and about Rs7 milion in revenue can be generated from biogas production from the waste of sacrificial animals.
Officials said 275,000 tonnes of carbon credits and $4.2 million income would be earned annually from the rehabilitation of the disposal site.
