About 80% of the world's energy consumption comes from fossil fuels (coal, oil, and natural gas), not renewable energy. While renewable energy sources, including solar, are growing rapidly and are projected to become the dominant form of new power capacity, their current global share of total energy supply is much lower than 80%.

About 80% of the world's energy consumption comes from fossil fuels (coal, oil, and natural gas), not renewable energy. While renewable energy sources, including solar, are growing rapidly and are projected to become the dominant form of new power capacity, their current global share of total energy supply is much lower than 80%. 

Here's a breakdown:
Fossil Fuels: -
These are the dominant energy source globally, supplying nearly 80% of the world's total energy. 
Renewable Energy: ,-
Sources like solar, wind, and hydropower are experiencing rapid growth and are now the cheapest options for new electricity generation in most countries. 
Solar Energy's Role: -
Solar PV alone accounted for a significant portion of the growth in new renewable capacity and is expected to continue its strong trajectory. 
Future Outlook: -
While renewables are growing quickly, reaching ambitious targets to triple global renewable capacity by 2030 is possible but requires continued government action. 
    India has achieved significant growth in solar power, holding a top global rank in solar power capacity, and is on track to meet its COP26 renewable energy targets. With a capacity of over 105 GW by FY 2024-25, solar energy is the main driver of India's renewable energy growth, contributing substantially to the total power mix. Key drivers include the expansion of utility-scale and rooftop solar projects, significant solar manufacturing capacity, and a nationwide focus on expanding solar energy.

Solar Generation in Night hrs

How to get get Solar generations in Night        While standard solar panels cannot generate electricity at night,     New technologies are being developed to address this limitation.      These advancements focus on harnessing the earth's heat or using infrared radiation emitted by the Earth to generate power, potentially creating 24-hour renewable energy sources.  Key Concepts and Technologies :- 1) Anti-Solar Panels (Thermo-radiative Cells):- How they work:-    These panels, also known as thermoradiative cells, work in reverse of traditional solar panels. Instead of absorbing sunlight, they emit infrared radiation into space, which is then converted into electricity.    Nighttime energy:-     They can generate electricity from the difference in temperature between the panel and the surrounding environment, essentially converting the heat escaping into space back into usable power.  Potential:-  ...

Hydrogen at home — It's the end of solar and wind power

  Hydrogen at home — It's the end of solar and wind power         Statement "1000 pounds" per day of hydrogen at home — It's the end of solar and wind power in the world" is not accurate.     While hydrogen can be produced from renewable energy sources like solar and wind power, it's not a replacement for those sources themselves. Hydrogen production via electrolysis, using renewable electricity, is a promising avenue for decarbonization, but it doesn't negate the need for solar and wind power as direct energy sources.  Cause behind its is as under. Hydrogen as an Energy Carrier:-     Hydrogen is an energy carrier, meaning it stores energy produced elsewhere (like from solar or wind) and can be used to power fuel cells or for other applications.  Electrolysis:-     A key method of producing "green" hydrogen involves using electricity from renewable sources (like solar and wind) to split water into hydrogen and oxygen throu...

State-wise carbon emissions in India show a concentration in western and southern states, with byd as major emitters, particularly from the manufacturing and energy sectors. The highest total CO2 emissions have been linked to states like Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat, Tamil Nadu, and West Bengal, though the specific ranking can vary depending on the data year and the specific pollutants included.
