Alterantive Power Sources


Thar Coal Reserves

Pakistan has fourth largest coal reserves in the world but it is importing 2.5 million tons of coal per annum for cement industry.


Coal -the black gold, is found in all the four provinces of Pakistan. Country has huge coal resources, about 185 billion tons, out of which 3.3 billion tons are in proven/measured category and about 11 billions are indicated reserves, the bulk of it is found in Sindh province.


These coal reserves can produce electric energy in extremely low cost and can fulfill our need of electricity for decades.


But our failed Government has never paid attention to this section.
