Arif Alauddin, CEO AEDB, briefed the audience on the successful interventions of the Board for energy utilization from natural sources in Pakistan.
He hoped that the demonstration waste-to-energy applications would inspire the local entrepreneurs to invest in the waste-to-energy and biomass sectors.
Chief guest Abdul Ghaffar Soomro said that the project would address the needs of today's energy crisis by utilizing renewable energy for strengthening the industrial sector of Pakistan.
