Bending the emission curve ― The role of renewables and nuclear power in achieving a net-zero power system in India

Practicable Artificial Photosynthesis: Its Relevance, Fundamental Challenges and Opportunities

“…Figure 1 shows the various fuels utilized during the past 50 years period through 1965 to 2015 to meet the world's primary energy requirement [1,2,[31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41]. It can be concluded based on this information that our society could survive and all the industrialization growth took place just because of the ready-made availability of stored solar energy in the form of fossil fuels (crude oil, coal, and natural gas).…”
