AEDB is working on biogas project at Landhi Cattle Colony,
Karachi, and pilot phase of the project will be funded by New
Zealand Aid (NZAID). Waste from 400,000 cattle in the area would
be utilized to generate electricity through biogas plants/generators
and high grade organic fertilizer. The pilot phase of the project
will generate 250 kW of electricity through biogas whereas generation
capacity will be extended to 30 MW along with production of
1500 tons of organic fertilizer per day. Another biogas power generating
plant with a capacity of 8.25 MW is under construction in
Shakarganj Mill with the technical assistance of AEDB.
