Islamabad : Quicker transition to cleaner resources of energy is crucial to mitigate climate change related effects, which can’t be achieved without adoption and implementation of energy efficient practices in industries and other segments of society. A key concern in this regard is also the management of agriculture waste through conversion to biochemical fuels.
