FAISALABAD:
Over 1.3 billion people in the world are living without electricity, and 1 billion people including around 700 million South Asians will remain without electricity until 2030 unless countries switched to alternative sources of energy since conventional sources will become costlier with the each passing day.
This was stated by speakers at a training workshop on Construction, Operation & Maintenance of Bio-Gas Tube wells, organised by the University of Agriculture Faisalabad (UAF).
Professor Dr Muhammad Iqbal, also speaking at the ceremony said that we can minimise the total energy cost of tube well installation in Punjab, adding that Punjab can generate 5400 megawatts with biomass.
Khan and Director General Agriculture (Field) Punjab Dr Bashir Ahmad signed an MOU to promote collaboration for successful launching of Bio-Gas Tube well scheme.
