Turning Household Waste into Clean Energy

Everyday kitchen waste is becoming a valuable resource for Pakistani families thanks to Nida Riaz from Faisalabad and her startup, Bio Home Energy. Her innovative mini biogas plants turn household organic scraps into clean cooking gas and organic fertilizer, making sustainable living practical and affordable. Perfect for homes with small backyards or limited space, the system helps families reduce their dependence on costly LPG, firewood, and coal while tackling the country’s growing organic waste problem. Engineered for superior performance, Bio Home Energy systems are built with advanced features to ensure efficiency and user-friendliness. The technology utilizes a two-stage microbial digestion process for optimal gas production. Its design prioritizes safety and convenience with leak-proof built, automatic pressure regulation, and optional solar-powered stirrers. Furthermore, the integration of IoT based monitoring and a mobile app dashboard allows households to digitally track and manage their energy production, making it a smart, modern solution for sustainable living. The adoption of this technology delivers significant and measurable benefits. Economically, households can slash their fuel expenses by up to 60%, while the system also produces high-quality organic fertilizer that can be used in home gardens or sold for additional income. Environmentally, each unit makes a substantial impact by reducing 1.5 to 2 tons of CO₂ emissions annually. By combining these economic and environmental advantages, Bio Home Energy offers a holistic solution that saves money, protects the planet, and fosters healthier communities. This innovative approach has garnered significant national recognition. Nida Riaz was awarded the winner in the Clean Energy Solution category at the 12th Tameer Awards. This initiative, under Wafi Energy, is dedicated to fostering entrepreneurship and social impact. By supporting new startups like these the Tameer Awards play a crucial role in transforming pioneering ideas into practical, scalable solutions that benefit families, communities, and the environment across Pakistan.
