    India is emerging as one of the fastest growing countries in the world with a GDP growth exceeding 7.2 per cent year-on-year and this trend is expected to continue. Energy is the driver of this growth, its availability is the utmost importance to sustain this level of growth. The official projections show that the energy demand is expected to be more than three to four times the current level in another 30 years (Anon., 2014). Energy is the ability or the capacity to do work and is broadly classified into renewable and non-renewable sources or conventional and non-conventional energy resources. Renewable energy is a source of energy that can never be exhausted. Nonrenewable energy is obtained from natural static storages such as fossil fuels like petroleum products coal and nuclear energy derived from rare minerals. These natural resources will be exhausted over a period of time. On the other hand, non-renewable energy is obtained from natural sources, which continuously exploited from in the environment on the earth`s crust. The renewable energy can be obtained from the sun (solar energy), water (hydropower), wind (windmills), hot dry rocks, magma, hot water springs (geothermal), firewood, animal manure, crop residues and farm waste (biomass) (Tulasidas et al., 2007).
