World Adoption of Renewable Energy and the Role of Pakistan in Green Energy Production

Abstract

High energy demand to support economic growth, insufficient resources, pollution from power generation, rising oil prices, and erratic supply have prompted governments to create long-term and secure energy sources. Renewable energy sources (RES) provide hope for a long-term, clean, and sustainable energy future. This paper compares how the world is transferring from fossil fuels to green energy with the role of Pakistan in this regard. Pakistan's issues include a growing imbalance between energy demand and supply, an over-reliance on fossil fuels, and rising import expenses worldwide. These may be solved by utilizing its vast renewable energy potential. But where RES have advantages over fossil fuels, they also have some limitations discussed in this paper. An abundance of renewable energy resources is enough to supply all current and future power demands. Furthermore, The Energy Policy 2019 discusses how Pakistan plans to adopt RES in the future. The availability, potential, and projects of solar, wind, and hydropower in Pakistan have been discussed. Key findings and conclusions have been made at the end of the paper.
