• The world is turning into a global village and fast
industrialization process has resulted in an increased energy demand. Prices of fossil fuels are sky-rocketing. If these fuels are consumed at the same rate, oil and gas reserves will hardly be available after 40 and 65 years respectively ENERGY PRIORITIES AND RENEWABLE ENERGY
• Renewable energy sources do not pollute the
environment ADVANTAGES OF RENEWABLE ENERGY
• The most significant advantage of using
renewable energy is its sustainable nature. • They do not produce any toxic gases which lead to air pollution • also play a vital role in stabilizing energy prices as the cost of renewable sources are highly dependent • renewable energy sector can provide employment to many people as a lot of wind, biomass and solar potential still RENEWABLE ENERGY AND PAKISTAN • Pakistan is facing one of its worst energy crises, and with the population growth, demand for electricity is set to augment without bounds. Meeting this demand is an overwhelming task for the present and future political governments SOLAR POWER • The country aims to build the world's largest solar power park • The country has solar plants in Pakistani Kashmir, Punjab, Sindh and Balochist an EXAMPLES : Quaid-e-Azam solar park Harappa solar Pvt Ltd Bukhsh solar Pvt Ltd WIND POWER • It is a pollution free, infinitely sustainable form of energy • It doesn’t required fuel. • It doesn’t create greenhouse gasses, toxic or radioactive waste. EXAMPLES : Jhimpir wind power plant Sachal energy wind plant Gharo wind power plant TIDAL POWER • Tidal power sometimes called tidal energy in a form of hydro power that exploits the movement of water caused by tidal current or raise and fall in sea level due to tides ROLE OF RENEWABLE RESOURCES: CONCLUSION • Pakistan is facing relentless energy crisis and it must do something substantial in order to cope with the ever-increasing energy demand. It should minimize the usage of contaminative energy sources and resort to renewable sources like wind, hydropower, biomass and solar to counter the huge problem of energy demand
