[pakgrid] A national scale challenge for engineers and entreprenuers in Pakistan

 

Pakistan is in the midst of natural gas usage crisis.  There are issues like:

1. Price of CNG; is it fair to link it to international price of crude oil? Need a sound macro economic analysis, not emotional statements.
2. If CNG is not used for transportation what will it be used for?
3. Should we switch to LPG for transportation?  What are benefits of switching to LPG for transportation? What are the sources of LPG? What is the infrastructure cost of switching from CNG to LPG?  Can CNG car kits be used with LPG?  How much modification will be needed to these kits? Can we do this conversion of CNG kits locally? If so who will do the design and manufacturing?
4. If CNG is not used for transportation what will it be used for?
5. Whatever this other use of CNG is, why can LPG not be used for this purpose?
6. Is it true that we are as blessed with shale gas as US is?  If it is true then how soon can this shale gas be brought on line?
   
7. If this shale gas can be brought online (assuming it is there) why pay the cost of conversion of infrastructure from CNG to LPG?
8. I can go on and on but have to get back to work.

Is HEC doing anything in this direction?  Has HEC or National ICT R&D Fund issued any well thought out RFPs for such research? Like the RFPs NSF issues time to time?
