Pakistan is facing an undersupply of electricity, causing load shedding several hours per day due to the adherence to conventional energy resources having socioeconomic and environmental limitations. This study presents a critical analysis of the present energy sector of Pakistan and recent developments towards bioenergy production from renewable resources. This study also provides insight into the potential of lignocellulose biomass resources to generate electricity for the national grid on a larger scale. It concludes that biomass is the promising source of sustainable, available, implementable and environment-friendly resource of bioenergy production in Pakistan.
