Pak Suzuki Motor Company Limited, a subsidiary of Suzuki Motor Corporation, has launched 2 clean energy facilities at its Karachi manufacturing plant in Pakistan.
Both the biogas plant and the solar power system have commenced full operation at the site, according to an official company statement.
The two facilities are central to Pak Suzuki’s ongoing efforts to advance carbon neutrality across all of its Pakistan-based manufacturing operations.
The biogas plant is located within the Pak Suzuki manufacturing premises in Karachi and covers a total area of 360 square metres.
It uses Napier grass, which is widely and readily available across various regions of Pakistan, as its primary organic feedstock.
Waste produced daily by the company’s staff cafeterias also serves as a supplementary organic input material for the biogas production process.
The solar power generation facility is installed at the same Karachi plant site and carries a total rated output capacity of 920kW.
It is expected to generate approximately 1,395,000kWh of electricity annually, contributing directly to the plant’s total energy requirements.
Both facilities are now fully operational and actively reducing the company’s dependence on conventional fossil fuel-based energy sources in Pakistan.
Managing Director Hiroshi Kawamura stated that the commissioning of both facilities reflects Pak Suzuki’s firm and enduring commitment to cleaner industrial manufacturing practices.
He added that the company would continue to invest in environmentally friendly technologies that actively support and accelerate a greener future for Pakistan.
Pak Suzuki also confirmed it would promote environmental initiatives specifically tailored to the unique regional conditions of each country where it operates.
Pakistan has recorded a significant and sustained boom in renewable energy adoption and solar panel imports over recent years.
The country imported over 50 gigawatts of solar panels at an estimated total cost of nearly $18 billion across the past 5 years.
That imported volume is equivalent to the entire installed generation capacity of Pakistan’s national electricity grid, according to findings from a recent independent study.
