A 15 slide overview about Energy Crisis in asia with an outline of Pakistan's energy crisis.

1. Energy Crisis

A future catastrophe?

2. Crisis!? What Crisis?
• Since the industrial revolution in the 18th century,demand for
energy has continued to grow.
• Mainly Fossil fuels have been used to meet our needs.
• As these resources are limited and reaching their end,hence
forming a great bottleneck (price rise) in the supply of energy
resources to an economy.
• And as the years go by powerful countries in need of large
amount of fossil fuels are starting to force/take over the fuel
of the countries rich in that resource.

3. Causes
• Over-Consumption
• Aging Infrastructure
• Corruption
• Theft
• Wastage

4. How much time do we have?

5. Energy Crisis in Pakistan
• Pakistan has been facing this crisis for the past few years.
• The main cause is that the consumption rate of electricity is
much higher than the production rate.
• As a result the frequency of electricity outage has increased.

6. Pakistan’s energy sector
• Pakistan’s energy infrastructure is not well
developed.
• Poor management.
• The major energy sectors are :-
Coal
Solar Energy
Wind Energy
Hydro

7. Supply and Demand
• Total power production capacity is 19500 MW.
• Country is falling short of 4500 MW.
• The demand of electricity is growing at the annual rate of 9%,while supply
of electricity is increasing at comparatively slower rate of 7%
• According to survey,
Household sector 44.2%
Industries 31.1%
Agriculture 14.3%
Government sector 7.4%
Commercial 5.5%
Street Lights 0.7%

8. Few recommendations
• Funds must be set up separately for such problems.
• Deals with neighbouring countries.
• Ensuring payment of dues by govt. Departments and
agencies.

9. What can be done?
• Renewable resources are certainly a way out
but not the ultimate solution.
• A energy source must be conventional as well.

10. So we have enough for ourselves,right?
Yes we do but what about our future generations?

11. Future and alternative energy sources
• Efforts must be made to develop as well as promote
renewable energy for sustainable development.
• Such as Biomass,Hydal,Solar,Wind,Ocean waves.
• Resources that are non-depletable and their exploitation have
minimum adverse effect on the environment and are
therefore Sustainable.

13. Clean energy vs Clean energy
• A modern wind turbine produces electricity 70-85% of the
time, but it generates different outputs depending on the
wind speed.
• Most solar panels are around 11-15% efficient.
• Efficient - Tidal Power converts roughly 80% of the kinetic
energy into electricity

14. After all energy is important!
• We must understand the fact that we have a huge role to play.
• We must think about the future generations and not be
greedy or careless about tiny things.
• We must promote the fact of using energy sustainably!
