Green energy generation uses natural, renewable resources like solar, wind, and hydropower to produce electricity with little to no environmental impact. These methods generate power by converting natural forces or substances into energy, offering a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels and helping to combat climate change.

  Green energy generation uses natural, renewable resources like solar, wind, and hydropower to produce electricity with little to no environmental impact. These methods generate power by converting natural forces or substances into energy, offering a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels and helping to combat climate change.  
Types of green energy generation
Solar: -
Harnesses sunlight to generate electricity, often using photovoltaic (PV) panels on rooftops or in large solar farms. 
Wind: -
Uses wind turbines to capture the kinetic energy of wind and convert it into electricity. 
Hydropower: -
Generates electricity from the energy of moving water, typically by damming rivers to create a reservoir. 
Biomass: -
Produces energy by burning organic matter like wood, crops, or waste, or by converting them into biofuels. 
Geothermal: -
Taps into the Earth's internal heat to produce electricity and for heating and cooling purposes. 
Ocean energy: -
Includes tidal and wave energy, which use the power of ocean movements to generate electricity. 
    India's green energy generation capacity stands at approximately 234.24 GW of renewable energy as of August 12, 2025, which, combined with nuclear power, accounts for about half of the country's total installed capacity.                  
      The renewable capacity is largely comprised of solar power as
116.24πΊπ‘Š
 followed by 
wind power -51.67πΊπ‘Š
 large hydro-49.62πΊπ‘Š
Total Renewable Energy (RE): 
234.24 GW 
Solar Power: 116.2 GW (48% of total RE) 
Wind Power: 51.67 GW 
Large Hydro: 49.62 GW 
Small Hydro: 5.105 GW 
Biopower: 11.59 GW  
Key initiatives and progress 
2030 Goal: 
The country is working towards a goal of 500GW of non-fossil fuel-based capacity by 2030.  
Record additions: 
In FY 2024–25, India added a record 29.52 GW of renewable energy capacity.  
PM-Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana: 
This scheme is a key driver for expanding rooftop solar installations.  
Manufacturing: 
There is a strong push to scale up domestic manufacturing of solar PV and wind turbines.  
Transmission: 
Investments are being made in transmission systems to ensure power can be evacuated from renewable-rich states.

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.
