Abstract

This study analyzes Pakistan’s energy system, distinguishing between renewable and non-renewable energy sources. We examine energy production decisions as Pakistan’s energy sector faces significant challenges including environmental concerns due to carbon emissions related to nonrenewable energy generation methods using historical data and analytical tools. In essence, we evaluate the relationship between renewable and nonrenewable supplies alongside with GDP, trade, and population quantifies changes in land use and counts related carbon emissions. This analysis will provide valuable insights into the environmental consequences of different energy production methods in Pakistan. Regression analysis will be used in the study to demonstrate how the above-mentioned variables affect CO2 emissions using data from 1990 to 2020. Additionally, methods including ADF-test and ARDL test would be used for accurate results and cater for unit roots and lag variables. According to previous research, non-renewable energy sources directly correlate with CO2 emissions, but renewable energy sources have a negative effect on CO2 emissions. While we can’t be certain of the details until we’ve crunched the figures, we want to contribute to Pakistan’s adoption of wiser energy policies. Consider ways to increase the use of renewable energy, better plan the use of land for sustainable energy projects and reduce carbon emissions in keeping with regional and global environmental objectives. Finding the right course of action for a cleaner, greener energy future is what we’re all about in the end. Essentially, climate change, being a global threat, is becoming a serious threat, so to accommodate this concern, a sustainable approach needs to be studied and applied accordingly.
