To launch “Waste Economy” in Pakistan, Chinese companies are likely to be engaged to generate power from waste in Lahore, the densely urbanized metropolitan of Punjab, and the emerging economic hub of Pakistan. The initiative will pave the way to add clean energy to the National grid and allow the government to convert trash into profit.
The fresh development came into view on the revelations of Lahore Waste Management Company (LWMC) officials in a talk with Gwadar pro. A plan to generate 15 to 20MW of electricity from Lahore's garbage is under consideration, he added.
Capitalizing Chinese technology and embedded collaborations with Chinese enterprises on electricity production modes and modalities with the Pakistan government, the Punjab administration is weighing up options to invite Chinese firms soon. In this connection, Lahore Waste Management Company (LWMC) organized a seminar regarding the first-of-its-kind project of Waste to Energy. Local Government Provincial Secretary Noorul Amin Mengal, LWMC CEO Ali Sultan, and other waste management experts attended the seminar and discussed in detail the Waste to Energy Project.
