“…Biogas energy systems have debatable environmental repercussions. Thus, sufficient precautions and care are mandatory to implement them (Yasmin et al 2022 ), and biogas energy production has fitness, eco-friendly, and protection problems similar to other power foundations.…”

“…Managing garbage in emerging regions is quite tricky. The deterioration of the environment, the rising need for power, and the dearth of continuous energy plants have compelled governments worldwide to switch from conventional to renewable energy sources (Ahmad et al 2021 ; Yasmin et al 2022 ). Renewable energy options mitigate environmental issues and provide lasting solutions to such energy issues (Ahmar et al 2022 ; Irfan et al 2021 ).…”

After COVID-19, financing for emerging nation reserves in renewable energy bases was deemed a crucial aspect of sustainable development. Investing in biogas energy plants can be highly beneficial for lowering the use of fossil fuels. Using a survey of shareholders, investors, biogas energy professionals, and active social media participants in Pakistan, this study evaluates the intentions of individual investors to invest in biogas energy plants. The primary purpose of this study is to increase investment intent for biogas energy projects following COVID-19. This study focuses on financing biogas energy plants in the post-COVID-19 era and evaluates the research’s assumptions using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). The study employed the technique of purposive sampling to acquire data for this investigation. The results indicate that attitudes, perceived biogas energy benefits, perceived investment attitudes, and supervisory structure evaluations inspire one’s propensity to finance biogas vitality plant efforts. The study found a link between eco-friendly responsiveness, monetary benefits, and investors’ actions. The aspiration of investors to mark such reserves was set up to be unpretentious by their risk aversion. Conferring to the facts, evaluating the monitoring structure is the critical factor. The previous studies on investment behavior and other forms of pro-environmental intent and action yielded contradictory results. In addition, the regulatory environment was evaluated to see how the theory of planned behavior (TPB) affects financiers’ objectives to participate in biogas power plants. The consequences of the study indicate that feelings of pride and discernment of energy expansively affect people’s desire to invest in biogas plants. Biogas energy efficacy has little effect on investors’ decisions to invest in biogas energy plants. This study offers policymakers practical ideas on enhancing investments in biogas energy plants.

“…Since 2009, biogas was used as an indoor fuel in rural areas of Pakistan to minimize the serious indoor health effects [107]. Recently, a study by Yasmin et al [108] mentioned the adoption/non-adoption of biogas in the rural areas of Punjab. The multinomial logit regression was used to analyze the adoption behavior (Figure 5 and Table 1).…”

This state-of-the-art review is designed to provide a factual analysis of indoor air pollution in Pakistan. Primarily, the main sources of indoor air pollution and related air pollutants were analyzed. Key sources of indoor air pollution include household energy sources (biomass, wood, coal, tobacco, and low temperatures) producing particulate matter (PM), dust particles, smoke, COx, noxious gases, bioaerosols, airborne microflora, and flame retardants. According to the literature, rural regions of Pakistan using biomass indoor fuels have a high indoor PM concentration in the range of 4000–9000 μg/m3. In rural/urban regions, indoor smoking also leads to high PM2.5 levels of ~1800 μg/m3, which can cause pulmonary infections. In hospitals, PM concentrations were detected up to 1000 μg/m3, causing repeated infections in patients. Indoor ingestion of dust containing polychlorinated biphenyl concentrations was observed at high levels (~8.79–34.39 ng/g) in cities; this can cause serious health effects such as cancer risks and a loss of working productivity. Moreover, indoor microflora and bacteria (~10,000–15,000 cfu m−3) in urban/rural regions cause respiratory/cancer risks. In this context, indoor air quality (IAQ) monitoring and management strategies have been somewhat developed; however, their implementation in Pakistan’s rural/urban indoor environments is still needed. Various challenges were identified for monitoring/regulating IAQ. There is a firm need for industry–academia–research cooperation and for the involvement of government/agencies to support indoor air pollution control/management and for intervention strategies.
