Asif Farooki is the pioneer of private sector participation in solid waste management sector of Pakistan. Considered as the domain of the municipalities, the solid waste management industry in Pakistan was non existing and there were several shortfalls in service delivery by the government due to lack of resources. Finding opportunities in these gaps made by inefficient service by the local governments, Farouque launched the Lahore Sanitation Program through his company Waste Busters. Mr. Asef Faroque holds a Masters Degree in Environment Engineering from Northwestern University, USA with specialization in Waste Management and Bachelor’s Degree in Civil Engineering from Northern Illinois University. With over 20 years in the field of environmental engineering, Mr. Farouque had been involved in the waste management industry both as an entrepreneur and as a consultant with the World Bank, Asian Development Bank, JICA and the UNDP. He has earned several prestigious awards including the Best Practices Award by the UNDP and the Urban Governance Initiative Award by the World Bank. His model of a low cost sustainable solution in waste management is now being used in several municipalities in Pakistan and is now being offered to other developing countries.

Robert Baran graduated as a mechanical engineer from Silesian University of Technology in 2001 (Poland), and was employed in Building services and energy industry over 12 years. Over recent eight years, he developed strong interest in renewable energy and sustainable development of local communities. He is an affiliate member of Energy Institute and CIBSE. As a mechanical engineer, Robert deals with energy consumption optimisation. These include prediction of power, heating or cooling load, optimisation of generation and distribution system. Distribution system as little as dedicated for large public building as complex of blocks of the Hospital/University, or as large as district co-generation or triple generation system.  He is passionate about waste heat recovery, and try to employ these technics on every project, where it is financially advisable and viable. Robert was involved in a few waste-to-energy projects and will try to familiarise an audience with few important points, where waste heat recovery can lead to significant efficiency improvements and increase total financial profit on WtE plant.
Mr. Baran’s presentation will be about “Methods of Waste Heat Recovery and Utilisation and Their Impact on Financial Viability of WtE Plant.”
