This coal, a resource long recognised for its untapped potential, may just hold the key to a brighter future. This development is undoubtedly a game-changer, with far-reaching implications for Pakistan’s energy security and food production. To move forward, the government should focus on developing a comprehensive coal gasification policy. A collaborative approach will not only ensure a smooth transition but also pave the way for an integrated strategy to capitalise on Thar coal’s potential. The time for action is now, and the potential is too significant to ignore.
