Abstract

Energy is a key force behind both social and economic advancement. The scientific advancements in numerous industrial, governmental, and municipal activities have significantly increased the energy demand. The main reasons behind the efficient utilization of renewable energy sources (RESs) are the rapidly increasing rates of energy demand and fuel prices, as well as the requirement to control greenhouse gas emissions. In reality, meeting the world’s growing energy requirements and preventing climate change are now of greatest concern. This review paper provides a thorough overview of the creation and growth of renewable and sustainable energy sources, including information on their types, traits, benefits, and drawbacks. This review specifically discusses the situation and future potential of renewable and sustainable energy sources in India. The growth of RESs can have a substantial impact on the economic development of India, in addition to creating employment possibilities related to harnessing energy from RESs.
