Question

Give name of conventional Source of Energy and describe note on any one.

Answer 1

The conventional sources of energy are generally non-renewable sources of energy, which are being used since a long time. These sources of energy are being used extensively in such a way that their known reserves have been depleted to a great extent. At the same time, it is becoming increasingly difficult to discover and exploit their new deposits. Coal, petroleum, natural gas and electricity are conventional sources of energy.

Coal: In India, coal is the most abundantly available fossil fuel. It provides a substantial part of the nation’s energy needs. It is used for power generation, to supply energy to industry as well as for domestic needs. India is highly dependent on coal for meeting its commercial energy requirements.
