from Sushant Pradhan Podcast · host Sushant Pradhan
Is Nepal sitting on untapped gas and oil reserves? In this insightful podcast, Dr. Sudhir Rajaure, a leading geologist and seismologist, breaks down the reality of Nepal's gas reserves, oil potential, and the future of energy independence in Nepal. From methane gas in Kathmandu to unexplored natural resources across the country, this episode dives deep into Nepal’s energy future. We explore how gas is formed from rocks, whether fuel found in Nepal is usable, and the time required for gas extraction and production. The conversation also highlights the environmental impact of fossil fuels in Nepal and the risks involved in extraction processes. Beyond energy, Dr. Rajaure shares critical insights into earthquake risk in Nepal, including the possibility of major seismic events and what we should expect in the long run. Given that Nepal lies in a highly active geological zone, understanding these risks is crucial. If you're interested in Nepal geology, natural gas, earthquake prediction, and the country’s untapped potential, this podcast is a must-watch.
