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.
