Abraaj Capital: KESC Biogas Project
The Landhi Cattle Colony, on the outskirts of Karachi, will soon be home to one of the largest biogas plants of its kind. Behind this groundbreaking project is the Karachi Electric Supply Company (KESC), a regional energy provider and an Abraaj Capital portfolio company. The plant is part of KESC's Fuel Diversification and Sustainable Development Strategy.
The plant will use up to 3000 tonnes of locally produced, biodegradable organic waste daily. The waste will be collected from livestock, industries, food outlets, and wholesale markets throughout Karachi. The project is expected to generate 25-30 MW of electricity, increasing energy output in the face of rising demand.
