Introduction
One of the serius threat to the world is global warming. The main factor of global warming is Carbon dioxide which is produced while burning carbon compounds like fossil fuels, coke etc.
Many countries have taken steps to decrease the emissions of carbon dioxide. India is also among the one.
In 2030
India will Invest $834 billion in the following years ending 2030 to reduce its emission intensity to gross domestic product by 42 per cent over 2007 levels, according to a Planning Commission expert group. According to the final report of the expert group on low carbon strategies for inclusive growth, the massive change in the energy mix by 2030 will result in lower demand of coal at 1,278 million tonnes from estimated 1,568 million tonnes.
One of the major requirements of fossil fuels is for electricity production. For this India will develop many technologies as an alternate source of energy.
Wind Energy- The development of wind power in India began in the 1990s, and has significantly increased in the last few years. Although a relative newcomer to the wind industry compared with Denmark or the US, domestic policy support for wind power has led India to become the country with the fifth largest installed wind power capacity in the world. It is expected that India will improve more till 2030.
Solar Energy- India is densely populated and has high solar insolation, an ideal combination for using solar power. Much of the country does not have an electrical grid, so one of the first applications of solar power has been for water pumping, to begin replacing India's four to five million diesel powered water pumps, each consuming about 3.5 kilowatts, and off-grid lighting. Some large projects have been proposed, and a 35,000 km² area of the Thar Desert has been set aside for solar power projects, sufficient to generate 700 to 2,100 gigawatts. India is expecting to gain this till 2030.
Here is a video showing a new innovation of India for producing energy.
In 2030 India will surely become a country which will be the least carbon emitting countries.
