The document discusses the global energy crisis and its impact on Pakistan. It notes that fossil fuel demand has risen steadily since the industrial revolution, but supplies are limited and countries are competing for remaining resources. Pakistan faces regular electricity shortages as consumption grows faster than production. Recommendations include developing renewable energy sources like solar, wind and hydropower, as well as improving infrastructure and management of the energy sector. The summary emphasizes that sustainable energy solutions are needed to ensure future generations have access to power.

1. Energy Crisis
Presented by:-

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!

And switch off the lights and fans when you leave !
