india has tremendous potential in non.conventional sources of energy

Hello

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.These are called non-conventional energy sources. It has the largest program 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.

•The largest solar plant of India is located at Madhapur, near Bhuj, where solar energy is used to sterilize milk cans. It is expected that use of solar energy will be able to minimize the dependence of rural households on firewood and dung cakes.

Solar power in India is a fast developing industry. The country's solar installed capacity reached 34.045 GW as of 31 January 2020. India has the lowest capital cost per MW globally to install solar power plants.

•Wind power generation capacity in India has significantly increased in recent years. As of 31 December 2019 the total installed wind power capacity was 37.505 GW, the fourth largest installed wind power capacity in the world.

•Biogas plants are set up at municipal, cooperative and individual levels. The plants using cattle dung are known as ‘Gobar gas plants’ in rural India. These provide twin benefits to the farmer in the form of energy and improved quality of manure.

In India, the estimate for the production of biogas is about 20,757 lakh cubic meters in 2014-15. This is equivalent to 6.6 crore domestic LPG cylinders. This is equivalent to 5% of the total LPG consumption in the country today.

hope above mentioned point helps you understand the concept

all the best
