Punjab converting Kilns to ECO-FRIENDLY
The Ministry of Climate Change (MoCC) and the National Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority (NEECA), in collaboration with the International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD), have initiated a project to convert brick kilns in Punjab to the eco-friendly zig-zag technology to reduce the hazardous impact of smog on the environment.
Consequently, 3,203 brick kilns have been converted to the zig-zag methodology which is an energy and fuel-efficient process to produce better-quality bricks.
An official from the Punjab Disaster Management Authority (PDMA) said, “Around 37.44 percent of brick kilns have been moved to a cleaner and efficient technology”.
