To find a sustainable solution to the municipal solid waste (MSW), Punjab New and Renewable Energy Sources Minister Aman Arora on Sunday emphasized the need to make its optimum use to generate green energy and bio-fuel from the same.
Arora, who was holding a threadbare deliberation with the representatives of a bio-fuel company and senior officials of the department, said that the Punjab Government is committed to promote non-conventional and natural energy sources as the best possible answer to the pollution problem for saving the environment.
Giving a presentation on the feasibility to generate bio-fuels and hydrogen using solid waste, Arora was apprised that the state’s urban areas generated about 3,800 tons per day (TPD) MSW in 2021.
