ENERGY: An Introduction
Energy facilitates all human activities
Oil was formed from the remains of animals and plants that
lived millions of years ago in a marine (water) environment
before the dinosaurs
The desire for energy has often exceeded the capacity of local
sources of supply.
At present, over a billion people in the industrialized countries
use some 60 percent of the worlds commercial energy supply,
while 5 billion people living in the developing countries consume
the remaining a large number of them are poor
Sources of Energy
In todays world energy have two many sources:
Renewable sources It can be refill in a short period of
time. The five renewable sources used most often
include hydropower (water), solar, wind, geothermal, and
biomass.
Nonrenewable energy sources It out of the ground
Natural gas for cleaner fuel than coal/oil has been gaining
importance around world.
The consumption of gas in cement industry increased by 100
percent during July-March
industrial consumption grew by 15.5 percent followed by the
power sector (12.3 percent), commercial sector (10.5 percent)
and household sector (3.5 percent)
The Power sector has emerged as the largest consumer of gas
(35.4 percent), followed by fertilizer (23.4 percent), industrial
(18.9 percent), households (17.6 percent), commercial (2.8
percent) and cement (1.5 percent).

Today, oil and natural gas supply nearly 80 percent of Pakistans energy needs.
Pakistan currently produces less than 20 percent of the oil it consumes. This fosters a
dependency on imported oil that places considerable strain on the countrys finances.
Gas needs not nearly as critical, Pakistans projected natural gas needs are expected
almost to double (from 2004 levels) by 2010.
Provincial rivalries and widespread public opposition have significantly slowed the
governments plans to build dams capable of generating electricity.
Hydropower and coal are under-utilized
Contd.
Nuclear power at this point accounts for barely one percent of Pakistans energy
consumption.
