A £1.25 million project will supply bio-coal from cotton and sugarcane residues to textile mills in Punjab

KAMALIA — Three Pakistani textile manufacturers have committed to trial bio-coal made from crop residues as boiler fuel under a £1.25 million ($1.7m) UK-backed demonstration project in South Punjab.

The SAFER Plus project will convert cotton stalks and sugarcane waste into engineered pellets using torrefaction, a heat treatment that removes moisture and produces a more energy-dense solid fuel.
