An alarming question!!
194,573,124 Terra joules of energy, is approximately used globally this year. Out of which 3.6 % is from renewable energy sources. It shall also be reminded that the left out oil resources will get expired in approximately 36 years. What about our next generation?
Recent Statistics
One study from Finland found that India has the potential to use 100 % renewable energy by the year 2050. That’s a massive claim for such a large population, but the country is on the right track. For three quarters of 2017, India added more renewable than any other energy source, including two quarters where its thermal energy use decreased. Solar is the leading source, making up a massive 79 % of renewable added last year.

Some of these renewable energy options have already been in use for a number of years while others are less well known. We will focus mostly on the following types of renewable energy:
