Read Abstract

Globally growth prospects of the economy and increasing energy demand, there has been a skyrocket increase in Pakistan's energy demand, causing an increase in food and stock affluence, soaring inflation and tightening the economy of Pakistan. Pakistan's population is increasing day by day that posing a challenge to Pakistan's economy as it increases expenditures on health, education, and infrastructure. Moreover, we have limited conventional unexplored resources to tackle this problem. Not understanding its resource potential, had led Pakistan into a developing country in the world. As Pakistan has unique geology and different topography i.e., highlands, deep rivers, and deserts that would be used to produce conventional and alternative energy. We endeavor to find out the possible solution by studying different geological perspectives.
