Enery Crises

The document discusses India's energy crises and potential solutions. It notes that India faces shortages of oil, coal, and power due to limited domestic reserves, population growth, and natural disasters. This negatively impacts industry and agriculture. The document proposes developing renewable energy sources like hydro, hydrogen, and wind power to reduce energy consumption and dependence on fossil fuels. It provides examples of existing and planned wind farms in India and abroad and discusses the advantages and disadvantages of onshore and offshore wind power.

CAUSES
(a) Oil Shortage:
Reserves of mineral oil in India is only 0.3% of world’s
known oil reserves. Oil shortage adversely effect the
transport sector in the economy. Again rising oil prices
has led to rising general prices in India.

(b) Coal shortage:


Coal reserves are quantitatively and qualitatively
poor. Coal shortages adversely affects generation
of electricity, therefore, restricts the economic
development.

(c) Power shortage:


A severe shortage exists in generation and distribution
of electric power in India. Power shortage affects
• industrial as well as agricultural production seriously.
(d) Population Growth:
The increased population desires
more products to use, results in
using more energy to make those
products in order to provide more
infrastructures.
(e)Natural Disasters

(f)Attacks By Terrorists
Present usage of different sources of
energy

Efforts to be made by the Govt.

• Thus, efforts must be made, and structures


put in place, by government and non
governmental organizations for the
development of necessary policies and legal
frame works well as programs that promote
the adoption of renewable energy for
sustainable development.
REDUCING ENERGY CONSUMPTION
(at local level)
• Look for the "Energy Star" logo.
• Use smaller kitchen appliances.
• Use lids on pots and pans to reduce cooking times.
• Switch to compact fluorescent light bulbs.
• Remember that it pays to invest in energy efficiency.
• Keep curtains and blinds closed at night.
• Install more attic insulation.
• If your basement is unheated.
• Maintain your central air conditioner by cleaning the outside
compressor.
• During late afternoon and early evening, turn off unnecessary lights.
• If your home can't accommodate central air conditioning, try a whole-
house attic fan.
• During the winter, remove window air conditioners.
• Reflective window film.
Stress on :
• Hydrogen Energy

• Wind Energy
How we can use hydrogen as a fuel?
Hydrogen fuel is a zero-emission fuel which uses
electrochemical cells, or combustion in internal
engines, to power vehicles and electric devices.
Ways of getting Hydrogen
• Electrolysis (H20 +electricity H2 +02 )
• Thermolysis (H20 +heat H2 +02 )
• Biological sources
• Hydrocarbons
Some Hydrogen Powered cars:
1 Chevrolet Equinox

2 Honda FCX Clarity

3 Mercedes-Benz B-Class
Advantages of Hydrogen Energy
1. Readily Available

2. No Harmful Emissions

3. Environment Friendly

4. Used as Fuel in Rockets

5. Fuel Efficient

6. Renewable
Disadvantages
1.Storage

2.Expensive

3.Not Easy to Replace Existing

4.Highly Flammable
Wind energy
Wind Today
• Windmills are used for pumping water from deep
underground.
• Modern wind turbine is the result of design and material
advances made during the 1980s and 1990s, which
enabled wind turbines to become increasingly efficient.
• Today, wind turbines are size same as the traditional
European windmill. It can generate 250 to 300 kilowatts
of power- a nearly tenfold increase in efficiency.

General advantages
1 Wind energy is friendly to the surrounding
environment, as no fossil fuels are burnt to generate
electricity from wind energy
2 Wind turbines requires less space than average power
stations.
3 When combined with solar electricity, this energy
source is great for developed and developing countries to
provide a steady, reliable supply of electricity
General disadvantages
1 The main disadvantage regarding wind power
is down to the winds unreliability factor. In
many areas, the winds strength is not enough
to support a wind turbine
2 Wind turbines generally produce allot less
electricity than the average fossil fuelled
power station, which means that multiple
wind turbines are needed to make an impact.
