This review paper investigates an up-to-date assessment and projection of the non-renewable energy sources (fossil and fissile energy sources) and renewable energy sources (RESs) and their various aspects. A concise analysis of the present status and future prospects of both the fossil energy sources (coal, natural gas and oil) and RESs is discussed. Furthermore, a concise analysis of the fossil fuels measured reserves and consumption for both global and Indian scenario are discussed. Problematic aspects of the non-renewable energy sources like adverse environmental impact, supply interruption fear and energy transition pathways are presented. A detailed summary of the RESs annual potential and a comparative analysis between fossil and RESs regarding carbon dioxide (CO2) emission are presented and the main barriers and remedial approaches in adaptation of RESs are portrayed.

Abstract


This review paper investigates an up-to-date assessment and projection of the non-renewable energy sources (fossil and fissile energy sources) and renewable energy sources (RESs) and their various aspects. A concise analysis of the present status and future prospects of both the fossil energy sources (coal, natural gas and oil) and RESs is discussed. Furthermore, a concise analysis of the fossil fuels measured reserves and consumption for both global and Indian scenario are discussed. Problematic aspects of the non-renewable energy sources like adverse environmental impact, supply interruption fear and energy transition pathways are presented. A detailed summary of the RESs annual potential and a comparative analysis between fossil and RESs regarding carbon dioxide (CO2) emission are presented and the main barriers and remedial approaches in adaptation of RESs are portrayed.
