**1. Dominant fossil fuels of my country ( India)** The three most dominant fuels in the Sankey Diagram of my country are: Coal ,energy production through Bio waste, and Oil and Gas., rest others although produced but are largely imported. **2. Where are these dominant fossil fuels mainly used for?** Coal is largely used for industrial purposes, largest consumer being Iron and Steel industry. Other industries include, non ferrous metals industry etc. A small amount of it is consumed for residential purposes. Energy produced through biofuels and waste, is largely used in residential needs and commerce and public sectors. **3. New policy :** India is currently making many efforts inorder to shift its energy dependency from fossil fuels to renewable sources. But it has tremendous energy needs and is having tremendous difficulty in meeting those needs through traditional methods of power generation. For economic as well s environmental reasons, India needs to shift to non- polluting renewable sources of energy to meet future demand for energy. A favourable renewable energy policy could create millions of jobs and could generate economy. Solar electricity could also shift about 90 percent of daily trip mileage from petroleum to electricity by using hybrid cars. We need a new business model, which should include the development of all forms of energy such as , solar, wind, hydro, thermal, biomass, biogas, and geothermal. **How it could work for India?** Solar is the prime source of free and inexhaustible energy available to all. And, india is one of the sun’s most favoured nations. India’s deserts and farmland could be used to construct solar plants. One step toward achieving this goal would be to start a nationwide soalr initiative to facilitate funds for 100 million solar roofs . We could: Initiate a move to electrify automotive transport. And adopt nationwide charging of electric cars from solar powered electric vehicle charging stations. They could be provided in highly concentrated areas, such as shopping malls, motels, parks, etc. Invest in smart meters. Work towards hydrogen economy development plans, Accelerated development of wind farms. Southern India is surrounded by sea on three sides, this geographical advantage could be used to produce tidal energy through tides. ![enter image description here][1] [1]: https://edxuploads.s3.amazonaws.com/1450197948546394.jpg
