Energy, Society and Sociodemographic Constraints Nexus: Development and Future Prospects

Abstract

To overcome the challenges faced by the energy sector, policymakers need to prioritize the development of strategic policies that promote the adoption of waste-to-energy technologies, Tidal energy, solar power systems, and wind farms. These policies should emphasize the integration of renewable energy sources into the existing energy infrastructure, ensuring a more sustainable and resilient energy supply for urban areas. The study underscores the importance of collaboration between various stakeholders, including government bodies, private sector entities, and local communities. By fostering partnerships and creating incentives, it becomes possible to mobilize resources and expertise towards the implementation of renewable energy projects. This collaboration would not only address the energy crisis but also contribute to job creation and overall socioeconomic development. Proper utilization of renewable energy resources can resolve the dilemma of energy crises in the country. According to our results, solar stood first in the overall ranking followed by Tidal, waste-to-energy, and wind energies. Solar performed better in indigenous manufacturing and development, resource potential, and technological development. Pakistan has abundant green energy resources which could be utilized by the formation of a proper policy roadmap and mitigation of policy pathways to overcome the hazardous dependence on fossil fuels for energy requirements. The implementation of policies adopted should be assured to achieve energy sustainability
