  • Climate change is a threat multiplier for hungry and undernourished people. Combined with conflict, it destroys livelihoods, drives displacement, widens inequalities, and undermines sustainable development — including our goal of zero hunger by 2030.

  • What are the key threats that climate change poses on a global scale?
    The answer is global warming.
    How might climate change affect you and your community?
    I live in a developing country in Asia and its effect will be more in Asia.

  • No need of KVAR in homes as all load is almost active.

  • Dashboard with energy estimator is the possible solution for utility companies.

  • We still need more concentration on energy estimators like power tag devices and building dashboards including OT & IT as IoT.

  • Prosumer is the best DSM concept and we all need to become prosumers in microgrid based community system.

  • Yes, energy efficiency is the key point to be considered in future smart grid systems.

  • policies and auto-regulation go side by side.

  • In our area, energy-efficient devices in homes are required but its manufacturing small industries should be locally developed to reduce cost.

  • Not yet. Global awareness in my country still needs more work.

  • Energy challenges include sustainable, economic, secure electric supply with clean, reliable and affordable energy.

  • I am an electrical power engineer with more than 11 years of teaching experience in four different organizations. Currently, I am a government employee in engineering University while completing my PhD degree with many publications in collaboration with 12 international Universities of 9 different countries.

  • I agree

  • The smart grid will look like the energy hub comprising of RERs, storage technologies and smart metering infrastructure for smart buildings and smart cities including internet of energy (EnerNet)

  • No such smart building and cities projects I have known in my region. Anyhow internet of energy (EnerNet) is interesting to go with.

  • Cost only is not the one centric issue, It also includes cybersecurity and data privacy of consumers. And electrical power engineers like me will need IT expertise in data science as well which includes AI etc.

  • Yes, the cost is one option but reliability, ease of use and control etc. are other services which the prosumers will enjoy.

  • V2G is the recent trend in smart microgrid operation and control.

  • DSOs as neutral data managers is the suitable future option.

  • @FakherOmezzine its good to collect data for smart future decisions.

  • A smart meter is a good solution.

  • Smart tools are efficient one way to optimize energy consumption but efficient consumption devices are the second solution for reducing energy consumption in real sense.

  • A smart meter is a solution for economical energy supply but we also need to reduce energy consumption by installing more efficient devices.

  • No such technology in Pakistan yet.

  • Hydrogen as PEMFC in Cars etc and CHP as microgrid are suitable solutions.

  • There is no competing between hydrogen and biogas. Hydrogen as PEMFC as well as CHP is possible solutions. While biogas is also the solution for farmers and agriculture lands.

  • Yes, hydrogen is a clean solution for energy storage but only with photolytic processes as the first process called thermal processes emit 10kg Carbon dioxide from 1 kg of hydrogen.

  • Hydrogen storage is one option which I am already considering with renewable energy-based rural microgrid.

  • Water contains hydrogen which can be used for storage of energy. So Water is definitely coal of future as it will be a source of energy in the form of hydrogen storage.

  • no such project in Pakistan yet.

  • No such biogas project in Pakistan but CHP based system is hopefully going to be established in Pakistan in future.

  • Biogas business in Pakistan is very much demanding in future as Pakistan is rich in biogas potential but lack in technology infrastructure needs improvements in future.

  • Biomethane as a vehicle fuel is the most suitable future.

  • Biogas as Heating for controlled agri-micro-farming.

  • I agree.

  • Biogas can also be used for local heating for advanced vertical farming under a controlled environment.

  • Wind turbine manufacturer entry as new is difficult.

  • Diamer-Bhasha Dam is in the early stages of construction, on the River Indus in Pakistan.

  • Drawbacks of low energy generation from each unit compel us to install small project-based systems.

  • Local small dams are suitable options.

  • Large hydro plants are not a suitable option in current scenarios. While small dams are the possible solutions where the canal and river system is effectively available like Pakistan.

  • Tarbella dam with 3410MW capacity in Pakistan, Its old with 10 turbines and need repairing.

  • Home solar energy system with the application of mentioned innovations is the suitable future for rural microgrids in developing countries.

  • For consumers, it's not good as it is difficult for them to decide. Anyhow, distributors and vendors (if honest) can make this process easier with diversified manufacturers.

  • very complex system but the progressive approach will make it simple and effective.

  • effective coordination between Privatisation vs governments organisations

  • Local Electricity Exchange of developing countries is most suitable.

  • working from remote area/home and saving money, new technologies, proper policies.

  • Incentives and cheaper alternative with home solar energy systems.

  • stong and visionary leadership

  • People engagement is central in this fast growing world. Artificial intelligence (AI), internet and location based people priority autonomous energy system is the need of the future. Autonomous individual priority based system is necessary.
