ABSTRACT:
Energy sources are crucial to sustain the smooth functioning of the world and its people. However, this need for energy is satisfied by fossil fuels whose combustion formulates a negative influence on the environment worldwide. This, in turn, makes a reduction in global energy consumption and climate change the most significant variables in present times. With the fast-approaching depletion of fossil fuels and a rapid growth in greenhouse gas emissions, governments throughout the world have begun developing policies and plans to create a more sustainable and environmentally friendly future. Renewable energy and technology have the potential to address these long-standing energy and environmental issues, especially in developing countries like India and The Middle East, since these countries contribute exponentially to the increasing demand for energy consumption. This paper then becomes imperative in understanding the roadmap of renewable energies in these countries and how it contributes to a more sustainable and eco-friendly future.
