Abstract: Exponential increase in the population growth rate (PGR) in India has resulted in energy being consumed at an alarming rate. Transportation sector consumes around 61 % of the petroleum products, a major portion of which is being imported. Alternate sources to replace oil have to be found. It is believed that hydrogen, CNG and ethanol can contribute around 50 %, 30 % and 20 % respectively in another 10 years. The maximum potential of wind power of 20000 MW could be reached in 2006-07 with a growth rate of 50 %. In the case of solar thermal power the maximum potential of 10x 109 KWhr could be achieved in 2007-08 with a 100 % growth rate. The maximum potential of biomass of 17000 MW could be reached at 50 % growth in 2008-09.
