摘要：Pakistan has enough natural resources but unfortunately, there is a policy gap to utilize them to match the supply and demand. The country has huge coal reserves which may produce 100, 000 MW electricity but still severe energy crisis hit the country badly for few years. It not only hurts economic growth but also increases poverty. The regional and OECD countries heavily depends on coal and peat resources to generate electricity. It is estimated that coal and peat contribute more than 40% in regional economies and 34% in OECD countries in total electricity production. Pakistan has to utilize these coal reserves to eradicate energy crisis which is cheaper than oil and gas resources.
