Biogas research gets green light in Pakistan

A university in Pakistan is to delve into the world of biogas research by setting up a dedicated centre on campus.

The Biogas Resource Centre will sit within the Ravi Campus Pattoki of the University of Veterinary and Animal Sciences Lahore, and aim to train and facilitate those working in the field of renewable energy.

University vice-chancellor Talat Naseer Pasha, in an address regarding the new facility, believes the 57 million cattle that inhabit Pakistan could provide enough waste to produce energy at both community and larger scale levels

It has also been announced a 25m3 capacity biogas digester will be built on the campus in due course.
