Govt supports Bio Gas Plant to reduce fuel imports

March 21, 2025 (MLN): The establishment of a Bio Gas Plant by Pak Suzuki has received full support from Haroon Akhtar Khan, Special Assistant to the Prime Minister, highlighting its role in economic growth and environmental conservation.

The project aims to provide alternative energy solutions by producing Bio Gas from cow dung, reducing fuel dependency and carbon emissions.

Haroon Akhtar Khan emphasized that Bio Gas is a sustainable energy source that can help Pakistan overcome the fuel crisis and reduce carbon emissions.

He highlighted the Prime Minister’s "Uraan Vision", which prioritizes a clean environment, with Pakistan targeting a 30% reduction in carbon emissions by 2030.

Currently, Pakistan’s total imports stand at $54 billion, with $16.91bn spent on petroleum alone.

The Bio Gas Plant is expected to lower oil imports by producing fuel from cow dung, which can be used in vehicles and industries.

This initiative is set to revolutionize Pakistan’s energy sector while generating additional income for farmers, according to the press release.

Haroon Akhtar Khan has directed the prompt implementation of the project and announced that the government will develop a Bio Gas policy for industrial use to ensure its effective utilization and promotion.
