KARACHI: According to an estimate, 1.5 hours of continuous sunlight falls on the Earth, which is enough to resolve the Global Energy Crisis, said the CEO of 3 Ray Solution, Imran Imtiaz Butt.
He informed the audience that every second around 173,000 terawatts of Solar Energy reaches the surface of the Earth, which can easily provide electricity 10,000 times greater than the current production around the globe.
He stated that if only 16% of the total area of the Sahara Desert is covered with solar panels, the total energy demand of the world can be met. Imran Imtiaz Butt, expressed these facts and figures during his seminar on “Energy Savings and Efficient Use of Resources” organized at the Iqra University, North Campus.
He said that the energy crisis and improper use of energy resources is a growing concern of the intellects around the globe. We urgently need to take better measures to solve this important problem, for which natural resources such as solar energy, wind energy, geothermal energy, etc. can be used. A cataclysmic problem like the energy crisis can be avoided by the timely and efficient use of biomass energy and hydropower energy.
He said that there is a dire need for awareness among young students regarding this issue, which will be beneficial for the economic development in the modern era. He elaborated the smart use of electrical appliances and prevention of energy loss by examples. In such situations, switching from DC inverters to AC inverters will save energy from electrical appliances.
