The study was conducted by the Punjab Cattle Market Management and Development Company (PCMMDC), a subsidiary of the Punjab government’s local government and community department and had been presented to the company’s board of directors (BoDs). The PCMMDC manages eight modern cattle markets among many others, which are also Punjab’s largest cattle markets. These include markets in Multan, Chichawatni, Arifwala, Sheikhupura, Shahpur Kanjran in Lahore, and Jhang. Together, these markets handle around 80,200 animals per week and generate roughly 87,130 kilograms of manure per day. At present, much of this waste is left to decompose in the open, releasing methane, a greenhouse gas significantly more potent than carbon dioxide. The study concludes that, if scientifically captured and processed, this waste stream can become a viable environmental asset as well as a new source of revenue for the public sector,” commented a senior official of the company. “Based on this, if cattle markets in Punjab generate approximately 200,000 carbon credits annually, the potential revenue could range between $1 million and $3 million per year (roughly PKR 280 million to 840 million). However, carbon income is considered a supplementary revenue stream, contributing around 10–25% of total project earnings, while the primary financial returns will come from the sale of energy and fertiliser products,” the official explained.
