In non-OECD region, it will rise by 85% (International Energy Outlook Report 2008) • Coal use is likely to grow from 40% to 44%, as a source for power generation, by 2030* due to energy security and price volatility. • Besides use in power generation, various countries have initiated projects to produce Coal-to-Liquids, that entail producing diesel and other liquid products and Coal gasification projects in China, US, India and South Africa. • World Proven Coal Reserves – Over 860 billion tons. www.sindhcoal.gos.pk 3 * Source IEA Report 2009

  4. Coal Used in Electricity Generation & Lignite Reserves * Sub bituminous & Anthracite reserves only ** Thar Coal Resources are 175 billion tonnes Proven Reserve in 9 explored Blocks alone is 20 billion tonnes 4 ( Source,2008, IEA)

  5. A Comparison of Power Generation fuel Mix World Pakistan World Power Generation fuel Mix 2008-09 Others 2% Coal 41% Hydro 16% Gas 20% Oil 6% www.sindhcoal.gos.pk 5

  6. Energy Poverty & Pakistan • 1.4 billion people are denied access to electricity around the world • 2.7 billion people rely on the traditional use of biomass for cooking. • Lack of access to modern energy services is a serious hindrance to economic and social development • Electrification rate in Pakistan is 62.4% • Population without electricity in Pakistan is 68 million (40% of Population of Pakistan in 2010) www.sindhcoal.gos.pk 6

  8. Coal- a means to long term Energy Security for Pakistan • Rebalance the Energy Mix • Ensuring economic Growth through affordable energy to reduce Energy poverty • Cost per Kwh RFO vs Coal • Means to end Circular debt of Rs 400bn (US$ 3.5 Billion) • Increasing industrial competitiveness • Checking drain on foreign exchange • Putting idle human capital to productive use www.sindhcoal.gos.pk 8
