**7. Recommendations from the perspective of Pakistan**

The use of agricultural residues as a renewable energy resource in Pakistan can provide a sustainable way to enhance the country's energy mix in order to meet everincreasing energy needs. Energy production through suitable and efficient technologies can have multiple positive economic impacts on Pakistan, (1) by saving huge investments in energy imports, (2) by reducing harmful gas emissions in order to protect the environment and (3) by empowering the people of the country in terms of social aspects [111]. It can provide multiple job opportunities to people working in the agricultural, transportation and daily wagering sectors. Furthermore, public awareness campaigns emphasizing the importance of renewable energy resources, as well as basic education on how to effectively manage these resources, should be launched [113]. This can be achieved by distinct financial assistance programs should be made available to encourage business investments in the renewable energy production sector [114].

Various important steps and measures must be taken as soon as possible, such as the establishment of generous research and development programs at the Country's Universities and research institutions, with a focus on research activities involving renewable resources in the country.
