Abstract: Energy self-reliance is a
key element for Pakistan to sustain its economic growth.
Pakistan is facing energy crisis since 2007 due to the
wrong policies of the successive governments, lack of
viable planning and immense corruption. Pakistan is
graced by natural resources which can be utilized in
proper way to full fill energy needs. Biogas (human
waste) is one of the renewable energy sources which can
be utilized as a backup in case of power interruption.
This paper presents design and analysis of a biogas
plant. Cost analysis of biogas plant is also
incorporated to show its economic viability.
Keywords: Biogas, Biomass, Pakistan
