Environmental Impact
Our Role in Global Methane Emission Reduction
BEVL is a methane abatement project
that produces biomethane from organic waste, offering a sustainable energy solution while reducing harmful methane emissions. By turning waste into renewable energy, the project helps mitigate climate change and supports environmental sustainability.
It has 28 times the global warming potential of CO₂ over a 100-year period.
Emission Reduction Potential
Our project has the potential to reduce up to 491,000 tonnes of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) per year through:
Effective management of animal manure
Replacement of fossil fuels currently used by end-users
BEVL is on track to become the largest private-sector holder of voluntary carbon offsets in Pakistan, focusing on carbon avoidance at scale.
Water Conservation
Our baseline analysis reveals a significant, often overlooked environmental challenge:
- Each farm wastes approximately 800 gallons of water per day just to flush out cow dung
- Across a single cattle society, this amounts to over 30 million gallons of water wasted annually
This practice not only depletes valuable freshwater resources but also leads to widespread dumping of untreated organic waste, contributing to environmental degradation and waterway contamination.
Through BEVL’s biogas project:
Water previously used to remove waste is conserved
Organic waste is repurposed, not disposed of
Contamination of local water bodies is significantly reduced, supporting public health and ecosystem resilience
Alignment with Global Goals
BEVL is committed to aligning with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), embedding sustainability into every aspect of our operations. Our initiatives contribute meaningfully to global and local development through:
Promoting health and well-being
via sustainable waste management practices.
Removing organic waste from local water sources
reducing waterborne diseases and minimizing odor pollution.
Reducing emissions by 491,000 tonnes of CO₂ annually
through carbon avoidance strategies.
Displacing fossil fuel use
in both domestic and commercial settings with renewable energy alternatives.
Creating job opportunities
with a focus on inclusivity and empowering women.
Raising awareness and building capacity
in local communities around sustainable energy solutions.
Through these efforts, BEVL is driving long-term environmental, social, and economic impact while staying aligned with 11 of the UN’s SDGs.
