Abstract
In the past century, it has been seen that the consumption of non-renewable sources of energy has caused more environmental damage than any other human activity. Electricity generated from fossil fuels such as coal and crude oil has led to high concentrations of harmful gases in the atmosphere. This has in turn led to many problems being faced today such as ozone depletion and global warming. Therefore, alternative sources of energy have become very important and relevant to today's world. These sources, such as the sun and wind, can never be exhausted and therefore are called Renewable. They cause fewer emissions and hence reduce chemical, radioactive, and thermal pollution. They stand out as a viable source of clean and limitless energy. These are also known as Non-Conventional sources of energy.
