When compared with other renewable energy resources (RER), the wind energy share in the global energy production is increasing rapidly. Currently, the Government of Pakistan (GoP) is moving towards RER, specifically wind and solar energy. In this paper, the wind energy potential of Tando Ghulam Ali, Sindh, Pakistan is explored. For this purpose, one-year wind speed data is considered at various heights through various probability distribution functions (PDFs). Statistical comparison of Rayleigh, gamma, generalized extreme value (GEV) and lognormal PDFs have been done with two methods, namely root mean square error and (R^2) in order to select the best PDF. Results showed that the Rayleigh distribution function is the best at the above mentioned area for finding various factors like site selection and wind power cost per kWh.

Nowadays the energy demand has become tripled resulting in advancingof the development activities in the petroleum industry to enhance hydrocarbon recoveries. It is reviewed from the literature that the current worldwide facts of research and technical observations have proved that the coal containing methane gas is not much efficient in terms of power, cost and environment friendly energy source. The objective of this research is to determine the technical and economic feasibility of carbon dioxide (CO 2) and nitrogen gas (N 2) . Moreover, sequestration in coal seams and their environmental consequences for coal based methane recovery project. This research study is also covers the effective and efficient methodologyforextraction of methane gas from coal, which is coupled with the injection of CO 2 and N 2 into the coal seam complex structure. Moreover, this methodology is applied individually and simultaneously, along with the after effects of injection of CO 2 and N 2 on Coal bed methane (CBM) recovery. The results of this research study suggestsa method for generation of electric power in which CBM gas is used as an input source whilst the combustion gas, CO 2 emissions are sequestrated into coal seams for environmental protection, extending the CBM recovery and reducing CO 2 availability cost.
