KESC Fast Working on One of the World’s Largest Biogas Projects
Karachi Electric Supply Company, as part of its fuel diversification, green electricity generation and sustainable development vision, is planning the development of one of the world’s largest Bio Waste to Energy Project of its kind near the Landhi cattle colony situated in Karachi. This plant is likely to have the potential of generating up to 22 MW of electricity fueled from biogas alone. A localized Biogas plant is a socio-economically sustainable venture and reliable in comparison to wind or solar, which are vulnerable to extraneous variables, biggest being weather conditions. The Landhi Biogas project in Karachi will not only generate up to 22MW of green power but will also be producing up to 300 tons/day (tpd) of organic fertilizer as a meaningful byproduct. This organic fertiliser has special application in place of eroded soil which has lost it’s utility and where standard urea fertilizer won’t be effective. In addition to the above, this eco-friendly energy unit will also earn a significant amount of carbon credits, thereby making this Project economically viable.

didn’t think things like this were thought about in Pakistan. Hope the zerdari doesn’t find this project out or it will go down the drain soon.
Good luck to the guys.

Biogas is a major opportunity for Pakistan to lead the world in a major alternative energy project. Check out the Landhi footprint on google maps to see the impact on the environment and what KESC are trying to do in Karachi in general. This film represents a positive effort in a country that needs it. Innovation is the future and Pakistan can do it. Positive Pakistanis should come together and show their skills; watch this film to gain a great example of “how” to do some good.
