Clean Energy

India has a population of over 1.25 billion which is one of the fastest growing economies in the world. Being a fastest growing economy, India needs to meet its energy requirements to meet its growth objectives in a sustainable manner. To meet ever growing energy demand, India has dependent more on fossil fuels such as Coal and petroleum products. This over dependency not only cost the exchequer in terms of imports but also emits more Green House Gases (GHG) into the atmosphere. More than 70% of Indian population live in rural areas and does not have access to electricity and other clean energies for cooking. Majority of them still depend on traditional fuels such firewood, crop residue, organic waste such as dung cakes to meet their energy needs.

To address this situation necessary steps to to boost renewable energy sector is required. India has a huge potential to harness renewable energy as it is conferred with lots of natural resources and geographical and climatic conditions that support the promotion of renewable energy technologies like biogas, solar, wind, biomass, etc.
