A COMPREHENSIVE STUDY ON SOURCES OF ENERGY FOR FUTURE DEVELOPMENT

Every living organism on the planet earth needs Input of energy .Energy is the basic requirement for economic development of any country. Energy is an important input to every sector of the nation for its development. Agriculture, Industry, Transport, commercial and domestic fields needs energy. Thus energy is the life line and driving force of civilization and out most care should be taken for its efficient production and utilization. The production of electrical energy and its consumption is directly related to the level of living standards of the people of the country can be directly related to per capita energy consumption. Due to increased population, urbanization and transportation day to day consumption of fossil fuels increased drastically in the recent years and also causing environmental damage. At present 70% of Energy production in the world is from fossil fuels (coal, oil and gas). Since the deposits of fossil fuels are depleting day by day in faster rate, due to burning of fossil fuels, emission of CO2 increased and caused for the green house effect by the owing the earth’s temperature is increasing and as a result many low lying areas near the sea will be drowned owing to melting of glaciers, if the earth’s temperature increased by 40 C due to global warming. Efficient use of energy could be achieved on the basis of a genuine energy strategy and the future of energy should be linked to the more efficiency less vulnerable and environmentally sustainable source of energy. Scientists and engineers are engaged in searching out new energy resources, especially non-conventional sources like solar energy, wind energy, geothermal and tidal energy and also renewable sources, energy converting devices as new resources for development
