Countries with Largest Coal Reserves

Thar Coal Findings-Chinese Report

Gas: Analysis reveal availability of no methane gas.

Coal Dust: Each coal bed possess explosive natural dust explosion.

Self Combustion Trial of Coal: All the coals are self combustion types.

Stripping Ratio: 5.30 upwards

Vision of Thar Coal Project

To develop Thar Coal as a major source of power generation for Energy & Economic Security of the country and as a Hub of Petro Chemical Industry.

To generate at least 10,000 MW by 2020. Huge proven reserves with attractive

incentives and Higher returns for investors Business friendly policies & environment Excellent incentives, concessions &

protections for investors

COST OF ELECTRICITY

Cost of electricity is different for every method.

Hydro Electricity = 2.3 dollar per watt Wind = 2.7 dollar per watt Solar = 3.2 dollar per watt Nuclear = 3.5 dollar per watt After Production of Electricity Price of

Unit is 4.00 Rs.

ECONOMICAL IMPACT OF PROJECT

Thar desert contains the world 4th largest coal reserves.

According to Sindh Engro Coal Mining Company:

175 Billion Ton total Thar coal reserves are more than Saudi arabian & Iranian Oil Reserves and equal to Pakistan’s total gas reserves.

1percent coal reserve have 25%power generation capacity.

Entire Thar Coal Reserves can be used to generate 100,000 MW of electricity for over 200 years.

Thar project brings largest investment in the history of Pakistan.

Thar coal project creates 60000 jobs.

CURRENT STATUS OF THE PROJECT

Mine Lease has been issued to SECMC for Block II. Mine construction is targeted to start by 2013 & lignite production by 2016.

GoP has declared Thar Coal fields as Special Economic Zone and Thar Coal Projects are exempted for 30 years from all taxes.

INITIATIVES BY SINDH GOVERNMENT FOR THAR COAL PROJECT
