A Review on Availability of Natural Resources in the Environment for Generation of Electrical Energy

Abstract

Renewable energy is booming as innovation begins to cheaper prices and deliver on the promise of green energy for the future generation. Solar and wind power in India is being incorporated into the national grid, breaking records without sacrificing reliability. This means that renewables are increasingly replacing “dirty” fossil fuels in the energy sector, resulting in reduced carbon emissions and other forms of pollution. However, not all energy sources marketed as “renewable” are good for the environment. Biomass and large hydroelectric dams make difficult compromises when considering their impact on wildlife, climate change and other issues. As of August 31, 2022, the total installed renewable energy capacity, including large-scale hydropower, was 163 GW.

The installed capacity of renewable energy is Wind: 41.2 GW, Solar: 59.34 GW, Biomass/CHP: 10.2 GW, Small Hydro: 4.88 GW, Waste Energy: 047 GW, Large Scale Hydropower: 46.85 GW. India has set a target of reducing the carbon intensity of the country's economy to less than 45% by 2010, achieving 50% of total installed electricity by 2030 and achieving zero carbon emissions. Low-carbon technologies could make a market worth up to 80 $ billion in India by 2030. Energy can be easily produced from renewable resources that are available for free. We can use renewable energy without fear of running out. This energy is also referred to as "green energy" and "clean energy".  Renewable energy sources include solar energy, hydroelectric power, wind power, geothermal power, and biomass power.
