M. Tech in Renewable Energy

About

The energy obtained through renewable resources such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides, waves and geothermal heat is called Renewable Energy. It is the opposite of fossil fuels, which are being used enormously than they are being replenished. Renewable energy resources exist over wide geographical areas, in contrast to fossil fuels, concentrated in a limited number of countries. Therefore, it is rapidly gaining importance and becoming efficient and cheaper, and its share of total energy consumption is increasing. Deployment of renewable energy and energy efficiency technologies results in significant energy security, climate change mitigation, and economic benefits. Renewable energy technology is also suited to rural and remote areas, where energy is often crucial in human development.
