•    Fermentation of cow-dung gives off methane gas

Uses

•    Methane gas is used for cooking, heating and other purposes

Potential benefits and challenges of Biogas in Pakistan

•    Biogas projects are in the process of development.
•    Although, biogas is a cheap source of energy, it means cow-dung can no longer be used as manure.
•    If this happens on a large scale it will aggravate the deficiency of a soil already lacking in organic nutrients.
•    It will increase air pollution because methane is a greenhouse gas
