Case Study on Role of Solar Energy in Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reduction in India

Abstract

Degradation of the environment and greenhouse gas emissions, especially of carbon dioxide, have increased issues with human health and the atmosphere. India, the world's second most populous nation, is one of the main consumers of conventional resources, which contributes to global warming. Before 2050, the growth rate is expected to expand even further, which will accelerate the expansion of industry and drive-up energy consumption. Many nations use alternative forms of renewable energy, especially solar energy, to meet their energy needs and reduce carbon emissions. Our goal in this assessment is to examine solar panel initiatives started by India, with a particular emphasis on the National Solar Mission. This paper also examines the current installed solar capacity, the 2022 solar panel plan, as well as the initiatives and results of solar panel installations in homes and businesses. A recent wave of climate efforts has set off a reduction in CO2 emissions to produce electricity. Numerous nations have been working to increase efficiency and employ renewable energy sources in order to develop and implement low carbon emission power generation systems.
