Clean Energy – Bright Future
-Dr. Lalit Kumar Setia
Tackling Climate Change
The increasing
number of industries, use of coal and oil in factories and vehicles, etc. are
affecting the environment very adversely and there is huge emission of
greenhouse gases. In November 2021, more than 20,000 experts discussed the
issues relating to climate change, increasing pollution levels, new threats to the environment,
etc. in Glasgow, Scotland. It is fact that carbon emissions are increasing
year after year and due to climate change, imbalances are happening in the
geographical positions of the earth. There is a need to reduce the dependence
on coal, oil, and gas by switching over to sources of energy from renewable
sources. With the use of solar energy to a great extent, it is possible to tackle
the problem of climate change.
Solar Energy – Clean Energy
The sun is full of
heat and the heat can be used to produce energy. Solar equipment is available
to transform the heat of the sun into solar energy without pollution. India, one of
the developing nations of the world, expressed its interest to reduce the
dependence very strategically. Sustainability in meeting energy
requirements is possible only through using clean energy sources including
solar energy. With the use of solar energy to a great extent, it
is possible to reduce the level of global warming.
Solar energy – Huge Potential
The scientists of the whole world are making efforts to invent new weapons, atomic bombs, and using
research to find out tools of destruction; however, a few are working to
increase the use of sustainable energy sources including Solar energy. There
are three sectors of the economy – primary, secondary, and tertiary. In all sectors,
it is possible to introduce uses of Solar energy and replace it with the use of
coal, oil, and gas.
Electricity generation using clean energy
The electricity
generation through solar is not only clean but also cheaper. The huge
potential of generating electricity is required to be met by using solar
rooftops, building smart solar cities, and introducing new innovative solar-based products. The initiatives of the Government in the Agricultural sector,
industries, and buildings around the world, saved a lot of coal, oil, and gas. The
momentum is to increase and there is a need to build ultra-mega solar parks. In
India, 60% of the Delhi Metro energy requirement can be met with 24% solar
power of the park, it is an example, how India is planning and moving towards
achieving the goals of using solar energy in all sectors of the economy.
Electrical Vehicles – A tool to reduce dependence on Petroleum Products
The Indians are committed to using electrical vehicles, modes of public transportation, and pooling transportation mean to save maximum petroleum products so that carbon emissions can be reduced significantly. The full utilization of water, electricity, and other energy sources with innovative products and services, reduced the level of pollution in most parts of the country.
