The Renasport sector plays an important role in helping a country achieve economic development. A strong transportation sector connects one city and different parts of the country to each other and allows people to find jobs in areas that may not be close to where they live. A family where some of the members have a good job work is more likely to avoid the vicious cycle of poverty.
In this way, a well -working public transport sector not only brings us closer to other people but also helps us to prevent poverty curves. However, there is also a dark side in the transport sector. It emits greenhouse gases.
These emissions increase the natural concentration of greenhouse gases in our environment, which changes our previous stable climate. Pakistan signed the Paris climate agreement on April 22, 2016 to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and reduce climate change. Bending curves for the transport sector for the transport sector can help achieve its targets of Paris climate contract and limit temperatures to 1.5 degrees Celsius.
During the second decade of the 21st century, the number of vehicles registered in Pakistan turned away from the sky. A presentation titled Dr. Syed M Hasan’s policies, obstacles and the transportation of solutions states that there were about 10 million registered vehicles in Pakistan in 2011. The lion’s share was two -wheeled motorcycles. In 2020, the number of registered vehicles increased from more than 20 million motorcycles to more than 30 million. Thus, Pakistan increased threefold in the registered vehicles during 2011-2020.
We need to develop a public policy to introduce and sell only electric motorcycles, cars, buses and trucks in Pakistan. We need to do this as soon as possible to bend emission curves, limit temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius and reduce the negative effects of climate change on Pakistan. Without it, it would be very difficult for Pakistan to reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases in the transport sector as the number of foam -fueled vehicles will continue to increase rapidly. The only way to transport the transport sector in Pakistan is ahead. We should sell only power vehicles in Pakistan since 2030.
We need to set up a wide network of fast charging stations in the length and expansion of Pakistan to achieve a 100 % power target in the transport sector. This is the most important piece of puzzle. It can either make or break the entire movement in the transport sector in Pakistan. We have to make sure that these fast charging stations have 24/7 electricity and they are not affected by the power deductions. It is especially important that these fast charging stations are operating through renewable energy using solar, wind and hydropower plants technologies. Renewable energy capacity is sufficient in Pakistan.
We only need to develop a public policy to introduce and sell fully electrical motorcycles, cars, buses and trucks in Pakistan. We need to do this as soon as possible to bend emission curves.
According to the World Bank, if Pakistan deploys solar PV technology at only 0.071 % of its area, it can meet its existing electricity demand.
It is equally important to use only renewable energy because only then can we turn the emission curves and achieve the goals described in the Paris climate agreement. If it is powered by foam fuel at the fast charging stations, it will not do much better than the environment of the environment.
Finland has been facilitating an underground facility called Onkolo at a depth of 420 meters to store nuclear waste for at least 100,000 years. Its cost is estimated at 3 billion euros. Fuel fuel and nuclear power is neither financially viable nor environmentally sustainable
Radio France International has reported that the French parliament has made it necessary to install solar PV panels for large car parks, so that the same place can be used to generate clean electricity. By doing so, France’s purpose is to promote the development of solar PV technology and reduce its dependence on nuclear power. The National Assembly can pass a similar bill which requires installing solar panels to large parking lots.
Al Jazeera reports that the Netherlands has built a solar road on the outskirts of Amsterdam, which has generated enough electricity in the first six months to provide electricity to an individual for a year. The National Assembly can pass another bill, which requires (wherever possible) is required to build solar roads across Pakistan’s length and expansion. We can also build solar bicycles and pedestrians.
We must prepare our transport sector to meet the challenges of today and tomorrow. We cannot afford to maintain the stagnation and we should make every effort to enable the rapid transfer to the transport sector. Only since 2030 it is necessary to sell electric vehicles in Pakistan. We have the capacity of renewable energy to produce clean power to provide the desired electricity for the transport sector. The full electricity of the transport sector will speed up the emission curved posts for Pakistan and will facilitate us to achieve the goals described in the Paris climate agreement. The ideas discussed here are realistic and viable.
