FUTURE PERSPECTIVES FOR RENEWABLE ENERGY IN INDIA

India is facing an acute energy shortage which is preventing its industrial growth and economic progress. Setting up of new power plants is dependent on import of fossil fuels. Thus, it is essential to overcome the energy crisis by reasonable use of renewable energy resources, such as biomass energy, solar energy, wind energy and geothermal energy. India is heavily dependent on fossil fuels for its energy needs. Most of the power generation is carried out by coal and mineral oil-based power plants which contribute heavily to greenhouse gases emission resulting in climate change.

Solar Energy

Solar power can be used by a variety of devices. With recent developments, solar energy systems are easily available for industrial and domestic use. Solar energy could be made financially viable with government tax incentives and rebates.

Wind energy

Wind power is one of the most efficient alternative energy sources. There has been good deal of development in wind turbine technology over the last decade with many new competing companies. Wind turbines have become larger, efficiencies and availabilities have improved and wind farm concept has become popular. It could be combined with solar.

Hydro Electric Power

India has a huge hydro power potential, out of which around 20 % has been realized so far. New hydro projects are facing serious resistance from environmentalists. Resettlement of the displaced people with their lands becomes major issue.

Biomass Energy

Biomass energy can play a major role in reducing India’s reliance on fossil fuels by making use of thermo-chemical conversion technologies. In addition, the increased utilization of biomass -based fuels will be instrumental in safeguarding the environment, creating new job opportunities, sustainable development and health improvements in rural areas. Biomass energy could also aid in modernizing the agricultural economy. A large amount of energy is expended in the cultivation and processing of crops like sugarcane, food grains, vegetables and fruits which can be recovered by utilizing energy-rich residues for energy production.

           Waste-to-energy plants produce clean, renewable energy through thermochemical, biochemical and physicochemical methods.
