Pakistan has about 850 billion cubic feet resources of coal at the
moment but unfortunately the country has been facing an shortage of
electricity which is badly affecting the national economy.if we
comparison between oil and coal then we find that the available
resources of the coal are equal to 400 billion barrels of oil and the
government has spending $4 billion annually to fulfill the demand of oil
but such a costly then coal and demand can be easily fulfilled by
utilizing only two percent of available resources of coal in the
country.
The coal could
produce 20,000 megawatts electricity for 40 long year but the government
had only been depending on hydro power to generate the electricity.
Such an approach had demanded construction of new dams and water
reservoirs that is not possible. The president of said mission
pressurize to government to use the coal resources to generate
electricity to meet the rising demand of power and provide to relief to
the industry to improve the economy of our country.
The power
generating projects will save huge foreign currency which is spent on
import of oil. The second largest oil producing country Iran too is
producing electricity by coal. But government of Pakistan is not
interested in any projects of generating of electricity by coal which is
need of Pakistan,s people who desired.
i think Pakistan,s
Government is trying to make money more and more for their foreign
accounts. Please inform to government to solve that problems and make
Pakistan strong.
I am waiting for comments on this.
