The Punjab government has proposed Rs4.3 billion for the energy sector in its 2026-27 budget, focusing on clean energy and sustainable development. Key allocations include Rs100 million for a CO2 capture plant in Lahore and Rs200 million for solar systems on government buildings. These projects aim to cut carbon emissions and reduce electricity costs in public infrastructure. Energy sector experts say the initiatives support Punjab's transition to renewable energy and lower its carbon footprint. The CO2 capture plant at Gujjar Colony targets industrial and urban emissions, while the solarization effort covers offices, hospitals, and other government facilities. The budget reflects a push for practical climate action at the provincial level.
