Energy Scenario in Pakistan

Energy is considered to be the lifeline of economic development.

For a developing economy with a high population growth rate, it is

important to keep a balance between energy supply and

emerging needs. If corrective measures are not effectively

anticipated significant constraints start emerging for

development activities. During 2010-11, electricity generation

was 94,653 GWh. The contribution of Hydel in electricity

generation increased to 33.6 percent in 2010-11 as compared to

29.4 percent in 2009-10. Since oil became an expensive input, its

share in electricity generation declined to 35.1 percent as

compared to almost 38 percent last year. The same was the case

for gas. Its share was 27.3 percent as compared to 29.4 percent of

last year. The share of coal remained stagnant at 0.1 percent.

In Pakistan, potential for almost all types of renewable energies

exists. These types include solar (PV and thermal), wind, biogas,

gasification, microhydel/canal fall, biodiesel production,

biomass/waste to energy production, geothermal, tidal/ocean

energies, etc. On an average solar global insolation of 57

kWh/m2/day exists in the country over more than 95% of its area.

Pakistan is agro-based country with a total cropped area of about

22.2 million ha and available crop residue 69 million tons/annum.

Biomass can generate 45,870 million kWh electricity per year.

Available animals in Pakistan are 65 Millions (Approx) with

available animal dung 650 Million kg/day (50% Collectability).

The country can generate 16.25 million m3/day of biogas which

can generate 1123MW of electricity and can contribute

significantly of the present energy deficit Pakistan has almost

3,000 MW power generation potential in sugar industry while

producing only 700 MW. Radiant light and heat from the sun, has

been harnessed by humans since ancient times using a range of

ever-evolving technologies. Solar radiation, along with secondary

solar-powered resources such as wind and wave power,

hydroelectricity and biomass, account for most of the available

renewable energy on earth. Only a minuscule fraction of the

available solar energy is used. Solar powered electrical

generation relies on heat engines and photovoltaic. Solar energy

uses are limited only by human ingenuity. A partial list of solar

applications includes space heating and cooling through solar

architecture, potable water via disti llation and disinfection, day

lighting solar hot water, solar cooking, and high temperature

process heat for industrial purposes. To harvest the solar energy,

the most common way is to use solar panels.

Another source of renewable energy available from materials

derived from biological sources like wood, bio waste, straw,

manure, sugarcane, and many other byproducts. By 2010, there

was 35GW of globally installed bioenergy capacity for electricity

generation. In its most narrow sense it is a synonym to biofuel,

which is fuel derived from biological sources. The objective of the

seminar is to find the possible solutions of the energy crises of the

country.
