Bamboo called "Beema" is a fast growing, high biomass plant that is thornless with thick walls and does not flower. It is recommended for large scale plantation, farms with labor shortages, and absent landlords under assured irrigation and fertilization. "Beema" bamboo absorbs 80 tonnes of carbon dioxide per acre per year and requires 2000mm of water including rainfall similar to sugarcane. Under good management practices with irrigation and fertilizer, "Beema" bamboo can yield 25-30 tonnes per acre starting in the 3rd year increasing up to 65 tonnes or more per acre from the 7th year onward for over 100 years.

Bamboo biomass an overlooked energy resource
Bamboo is a promising source of biomass energy that is often overlooked. It grows rapidly, is renewable, and can be used to produce charcoal, briquettes, and electricity through gasification. Models show that managed bamboo forests can sequester carbon faster than other fast-growing species. Technologies exist for small-scale and commercial charcoal production from bamboo, as well as briquetting enterprises. Life cycle analyses indicate bamboo gasification systems have higher energy output and carbon closure than ethanol production. While initial costs are higher for biomass systems than diesel or solar, the production costs of electricity are lower, making biomass more economical. Promoting bamboo energy can provide income, energy access, land benefits

Hemp fiber based textiles, the way forward for pakistan
Hemp fiber based textiles have superior qualities to cotton and are in high demand globally. Hemp fabrics are stronger, more durable, thermo-active, antibacterial, UV protective, quick drying, and ideal for clothing, towels, and tents. Hemp is more sustainable than cotton, requiring less water and pesticides. Pakistan's northern areas have suitable climate for hemp cultivation, which could generate $1 billion annually and 100,000-200,000 jobs. Hemp fiber production is 3 times that of cotton per acre with lower water and fertilizer needs. Transitioning to hemp fiber textiles could revive Pakistan's textile industry and reduce water usage.
