245			_a Environmental Proactiveness and the Power Sector: The Indian Scenario
300			_a285-291 p.
520			_aElectrical energy is considered to be a clean and safe form of energy. However, there are environmental issues related to its generation and distribution. The significant contributor of electricity in India is thermal power, primarily using coal. The burning of coal causes emission of various greenhouse gases including CO2. With adverse effect from the changing climate due to global warming the power sector has taken drastic steps for the reduction of emissions caused by fossil fuel burning. Several new technologies are being adopted to fulfil the incessant electrical power requirement of the country. Solar, wind and geo-thermal along with biomass are the constituents of these technologies. Out of these, adoption of solar energy is being done on a larger scale. The government supports the adoption of cleaner technologies by the power sector in the form of subsidies. The policies of the government for conservation of environment will help the power sector to not only fulfil the demand of electricity for infrastructure development, but a sustainable approach will also lead to preservation of environment.
