Light (Solar), water, wind, biomass are abundant in India. India has many well-developed programs for the development of renewable energy resources. However, the country has become more dependent on fossil fuels such as coal, oil , and gas because of the rising use of energy. Rising oil & gas prices and their possible scarcity have increased the uncertainty of future energy, which have significant implications on the national economy's development
Explanation:
- Renewable energy sources such as wind, solar energy, biomass, waste material & tide energy are, therefore, urgently needed. Such are referred to as non-conventional sources of energy.
- However, in the 1970s India had recognised the need for renewable sources of energy. Infact, India has succeeded in developing technologies to tap non-conventional energy sources
- India is a tropical nation. It has huge possibilities of tapping solar energy. The Western part of India has bigger potential for developing solar energy in Rajasthan & Gujarat
- India ranks as a "wind super power" globally. The biggest "wind farm cluster" is situated in Tamil Nadu from "Nagarcoil to Madurai". In addition, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Kerala, Gujarat, Lakshadweep, & Maharashtra have vital wind farms. Jaisalmer is also well-known for effectual utilisation of wind energy in the nation.
- With regard to Geothermal energy, in India, hundreds of hot spring are there which could be used for electricity production. In India, 2 experimental projects to exploit geothermal energy have been implemented. One is in the "Parvati Valley" in Himachal Pradesh and the other in the "Puga Valley of Ladakh".
- In India, the Kutch Gulf provides ideal & suitable conditions for utilizing tidal energy. A 900mw "tidal energy power plant" has been set up in the Gulf of Kutch by the National Hydro-power Corporation (NHC).
- In India, at the individual, the municipal, & co-operative levels biogas plants have been established. Plants of cattle dung are known in rural India as 'Gobar gas plants.' These offer the farmer two benefits: one in the form of energy and the other in the form of better manure quality
