This document summarizes Pakistan's energy situation and low carbon development potential. It finds that Pakistan heavily relies on natural gas and imported oil to meet its energy needs, and has a large demand-supply gap. While Pakistan has huge potential for low carbon energy like solar, wind, and hydropower, current plans still focus mainly on high carbon resources. The document examines case studies of domestic biogas plants, micro-hydropower projects, and a grid-connected hydropower plant, finding benefits like rural electrification, economic opportunities, and reduced emissions. It concludes that Pakistan needs a policy shift to emphasize and develop indigenous low carbon energy technologies.
