Future Scenario of Solar Energy:
Solar power in India is a fast developing industry.
The country’s solar installed capacity reached 29.55 GW as of 30 June 2019.
India has become globally the lowest cost producer of solar power.
The Indian Government has increased the target of renewable energy capacity to 175 GW by the year 2022, which includes 100 GW from solar.
Advantage:
- Advantage of using solar energy is its eco-friendly nature.
- It does not release CO2 and other harmful gases which responsible for global warming.
- The solar energy sector will act as a base of sustainable development for India.
- Solar energy will generate space for employment and will help make Indian economy strong.
Future Scenario of Wind Energy:
Wind power accounts for 10% of India’s total installed power capacity.
The fourth largest installed wind power capacity in the world.
The Indian Government has increased the target of renewable energy capacity to 175 GW by the year 2022, which includes 60 GW from wind.
Advantage:
- Advantage of using this energy is its eco-friendly nature.
- It does not release CO2 and other harmful gases which responsible for global warming.
- This energy generated without polluting environment.
- Wind energy can be used directly as mechanical energy.
Future Scenario of Bio-Power:
In India, the estimated for the production of biogas is about 20757 lakh cubic meters in 2014-15.
This is equivalent to 5 % of the total LPG consumption in the country today.
The Indian Government has increased the target of renewable energy capacity to 175 GW by the year 2022, which includes 10 GW from Bio-Power.
Advantage:
- Advantage of using this energy is its eco-friendly nature.
- It does not release CO2 and other harmful gases which responsible for global warming.
- It can provide distributed energy generation, thereby providing much-needed energy for remote locations and villages.
- In many case, it provides a beneficial way of disposing organic waste.
Future Scenario of Hydro-Power:
India is the 7th largest producer of hydroelectric power in the world.
As 0f 30 April 2017, India’s installed utility-scale hydroelectric capacity was 13.5% of its total utility power generation capacity.
The Indian Government has increased the target of renewable energy capacity to 175 GW by the year 2022, which includes 5 GW from Hydro-Power.
Advantage:
- Advantage of using this energy is its eco-friendly nature.
- It does not release CO2 and other harmful gases which responsible for global warming.
- Compare to among others fossil fuels and nuclear energy, hydroelectricity is much safety.
- It is very reliable energy.
