Ghani Chemical Industries Limited (GCIL) has approved a joint venture agreement with Mari Energies Limited to establish a pioneering project dedicated to capturing and processing cold-vent/exhaust gases from the Sachal Gas Processing Complex (SGPC).

This groundbreaking project, the first of its kind in Pakistan, will produce 80,000 tons per year of liquefied natural gas (LNG) and 55,000 tons per year of industrial and food-grade carbon dioxide (CO2). The investment is estimated at PKR 14 billion, with a significant portion to be financed through supplier credit.
