India is blessed with an abundance of sunlight, water, wind and biomass. Make/design a poster how these can be used to solve the energy problem in our country.
Answers
Explanation:
India is blessed with an abundance of non-Conventional Sources of Energy like sunlight, water, wind and biomass. The growing need of energy has resulted in the country made dependent on fossil fuels such as coal, oil and gas. The potential shortages of oil and gas due to price rise and over-exploitation of energy which in turn, raised uncertainties about the security of energy supply in future. Moreover, increasing use of fossil fuels also causes serious environmental problems. Hence, there is a pressing need to use renewable energy sources like solar energy, wind, tide, biomass and energy from waste material. These are called nonconventional energy sources. It has the largest programmes for the development of these renewable energy resources.
There is a capacity of about 1, 95,000 MW non-conventional energy in India. 31 % of it is the form of solar energy, 30% in ocean and geo-thermal, 26 % in biomass and 10 % in wind energy
