Pakistan Industrial Electrification Study: Cutting Energy Costs and Emissions
pakistantoday.com.pkA new study by Agora Energiewende and PRIED reveals that Pakistan can reduce industrial energy costs by 36% and cut greenhouse gas emissions by half by 2050. The transition focuses on replacing fossil fuel processes with electric technologies in the food, textile, paper, and fertilizer sectors. By integrating solar energy and electric heating, the food industry could see cost reductions up to 90% with short payback periods. The roadmap emphasizes a phased approach to decarbonization to improve industrial competitiveness and reduce reliance on imported fuels.
