Thar Desert in Pakistan has the 7th largest coal reserves in the world, Coal is a valuable mineral specially amid the steeply rising energy costs in the world, however the modern scientific breakthroughs has evolved new technologies to process coal in a more efficient, clean & environment friendly way.

The largely untapped Thar Coal reserves has for years been red taped in Pakistan by the powerful Oil lobbies who bribe their way in Politics & bureaucracy to keep the valuable coal reserves at bay.

South African Oil & chemicals giant company Sasol has the technology to extract Oil & chemicals from Coal but its feasibility is only viable if the intl oil prices remain above US$40/barrel.

In the last decade the oil prices have remained well above this threshold therefore justifying prompt action / investment in Thar Coal reserves which can turn around Pakistans & even the regions dire energy & economic crisis.
