Non-conventional Sources of Energy

Minerals and Power Resources

What is the solution to the increasing scarcity of fossil fuels? Is it time to say goodbye to fossil fuels, since they are not possible to replace? For more than a century, they have been the primary sources of energy.

Fossil fuels, which are finite resources, provide more than 80% of the world’s energy needs. This has made them one of the most vital elements of modern life. But at this rate of consumption, fossil fuel is set for extinction in next few decades.

Increasing use of fossil fuels leads to shortage- if the present rate of consumption continues, the reserves of these fuels will get exhausted- their use also causes environmental pollution- Therefore, there is need for using nonconventional sources such as solar energy, wind energy, tidal energy, which are renewable.
