Use of Non-conventional sources of Energy: India, as you know, is hugely dependent on thermal & hydro power plants to meet its power needs. Both of these have adverse environmental impacts. Thermal power plants emit large quantities of carbon dioxide, which is a greenhouse gas. It also produces fly ash which, if not used properly, can cause pollution of water bodies, land, and other components of the environment. Wind power & solar rays are good examples of non-conventional but cleaner & greener energy sources. They are not yet explored on a large scale due to a lack of technological devices.
Fly Ash, produced as a residual in thermal power plants, will not produce:
Further Energy
The correct answer is Further Energy.
- Fly Ash is a byproduct of burning coal in thermal power plants.
- It causes air, water, and land pollution if not properly managed.
- However, fly ash itself does not generate further energy; instead, it is used in making cement, bricks, and road construction.
