The document discusses renewable energy sources and the availability of various energy resources and their future trends. It provides details on:
- The availability of conventional resources like fossil fuels (coal, oil and gas), hydroelectric power, and nuclear power. Fossil fuel reserves will last 40-200 more years depending on the resource. Only one-third of hydro potential is tapped.
- Non-conventional sources like solar, wind, biomass, geothermal, tidal, wave and ocean thermal energy are discussed with notes on their current status and potential.
- The energy scenario in India is summarized, noting that India is a major producer and consumer of energy but also imports fossil fuels. Renewable energy makes
