"This report examines the socio-economic and environmental impacts of fossil gas expansion in Pakistan, with a specific focus on the development of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) infrastructure. Commissioned by the Indus Consortium and conducted by the Centre for Business and Economics Research (CBER), the study evaluates Pakistan’s increasing reliance on LNG to bridge the widening gap between declining domestic gas production and growing energy demand. The findings underscore both the opportunities and challenges associated with this transition."
