How Producing Electricity Is Causing Global Warming In Pakistan?

The production of electricity can contribute to global warming in Pakistan, as well as in other countries, through the release of greenhouse gases (GHGs) into the atmosphere. These GHGs trap heat from the sun and warm the Earth’s surface, leading to a phenomenon known as global warming.
In Pakistan, the main source of electricity is fossil fuels such as coal and natural gas, which release GHGs when burned to generate electricity. The burning of fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide (CO2), which is the most common GHG and the primary contributor to global warming. Other GHGs that are discharged during the production of electricity include methane, nitrous oxide, and fluorinated gases.
In addition to the direct release of GHGs from the burning of fossil fuels, the extraction, transportation, and processing of these fuels also contribute to GHG emissions.
To mitigate the impact of electricity production on global warming, it is important to reduce the use of fossil fuels and increase the use of renewable energy references, such as solar and wind power, which do not produce GHGs during the electricity generation process.
