Energy Resources and Storage

Solar energy is the largest alternate energy source globally due to its immense potential and widespread adoption. Solar power systems can be deployed at scale from individual rooftops to massive solar farms. The sun provides more energy to Earth in one hour than humanity uses in a year.

Thermal generation is the process of generating electricity from heat. Therefore, by burning coal, thermal energy can be produced.

 The oldest energy known to man is Geothermal energy.This geothermal energy originates from the original formation of the planet, from radioactive decay of minerals, and from solar energy absorbed at the surface. It has been used for space heating and bathing since ancient Roman times, but is now better known for generating electricity

Thermal power plants (coal, natural gas, oil) have historically contributed over 80% of India's total power generation. This dominance is due to abundant coal reserves in India and established infrastructure for thermal power plants, making them the primary source of electricity.

Green diesel is a form of diesel fuel which is derived from renewable feedstock rather than the fossil feedstock used in most diesel fuels. Green diesel feedstock can be sourced from a variety of oils including canola, algae, jatropha and salicornia in addition to tallow.

Yes, it is the correct answer.

No, it cannot help in dispersal of seeds and pollen grains of flowers. Hence, it is the correct answer.

Nuclear power, or nuclear energy, is the use of exothermic nuclear processes, to generate useful heat and electricity. The term includes nuclear fission, nuclear decay and nuclear fusion.

Water is a renewable resource because it can be naturally replenished through the hydrological cycle - evaporation, condensation, and precipitation. Petroleum, Coal, and Natural Gas are fossil fuels that take millions of years to form and are being depleted much faster than they can be naturally renewed, making them non-renewable resources.

Hydroelectricity produces minimal air pollution during operation and no direct emissions. While biomass, geothermal, and radiant energy are clean sources, hydro is often considered the cleanest large-scale option, though it has ecosystem impacts from damming rivers.

Bio-gas is a renewable resource because it is continuously produced from organic waste matter through anaerobic digestion. It can be replenished naturally in a short timeframe, unlike non-renewable resources like fossil fuels which take millions of years to form.

Wind power is a non-conventional or renewable energy source, unlike coal, hydroelectricity (in conventional classification), and natural gas which are considered conventional sources. Wind energy harnesses natural air flow without depleting resources.

Yes, it is the correct answer. Firewood is not a non-conventional energy resource.
