The book focuses on the importance of renewable sources of energy owing to the backdrop of fossil fuel dilemma. Major emphasis is placed on the use of alternative energy technologies. Some applications pf renewable sources and future of energy is also discussed. An ever-increasing population means an ever-increasing demand for energy. Nowadays, an immense amount of energy cannot be ignored. It's essential to every walk of life. Bearing in mind the awful fact that non-renewable sources will inevitably deplete, the value of renewable sources cannot be underestimated. The most important aspect of their use is their impact on the environment. Sustainable development requires methods and tools to measure and compare the environmental impacts of human activities on different products. Renewable energy system development will make it possible to resolve the presently most crucial tasks lime improving energy supply reliability and organic fuel economy; solving problems of local energy and water supply; increasing the standard of living and level of employment of the local population; ensuring sustainable development of the remote regions in the desert and mountain zones; implementation of the obligations of the countries with regard to fulfilling the international agreements relating to environmental protection. Development and implementations of renewable energy project in rural areas can create job opportunities and thus minimizing migration towards urban areas. Harvesting the renewable energy in decentralized manner is one of the options to meet the rural and small-scale energy needs in a reliable, affordable and environmentally sustainable way.
