Uzbekistan is undertaking an environmental initiative to transition its greenhouse farming sector to more sustainable fuel sources, supported by Korea Western Power and engineering experts from KICC. This project aims to reduce atmospheric emissions from greenhouse operations.
A visit by a Korean delegation, including officials from Korea Western Power and KICC, highlighted collaborative efforts between Uzbekistan and South Korea in addressing environmental challenges. Discussions focused on implementing biofuel technologies, particularly from cotton stalks, as an alternative to coal heating in local greenhouses.
Over the next decade, Uzbekistan anticipates reducing approximately 120 thousand tons of atmospheric emissions through the adoption of biofuels. This shift supports global sustainability goals outlined in international agreements.
The initiative includes establishing a biofuel production facility in Furkat, within the Fergana region. Agreements with municipal and regional authorities facilitate the integration of eco-friendly technologies into Uzbekistan's agricultural infrastructure.
The transition to biofuels offers economic opportunities for local farmers and communities. By embracing cleaner energy solutions, Uzbekistan aims to enhance agricultural productivity and reduce reliance on fossil fuels.
