 INTRODUCTION
• The term energy resource refers to any material that can be used as a basis or source of
energy. Energy resources are used to generate electricity and other forms of power for
human use.
• Globally we see that coal, followed by gas, is the largest source of electricity production. Of
the low-carbon sources, hydropower and nuclear make the largest contribution; although
wind and solar are growing quickly.
• Early humans had modest energy requirements, mostly food and fuel for fires to cook and
keep warm. In today's society, humans consume as much as 110 times as much energy
per person as early humans.
 TYPES OF ENERGY RESOURCES

1. Renewable Resources:
• Renewable energy is energy derived from natural resources that are replenished
at a higher rate than they are consumed. Sunlight and wind, for example, are
such sources that are constantly being replenished. Renewable energy sources
are plentiful and all around us.
• Generating renewable energy creates far lower emissions than burning fossil
fuels. Transitioning from fossil fuels, which currently account for the lion’s share
of emissions, to renewable energy is key to addressing the climate crisis.
• Renewables are now cheaper in most countries, and generate three times more
jobs than fossil fuels.
 FEW COMMON SOURCES OF RENEWABLE
ENERGY:
SOLAR ENERGY
Solar energy is the most abundant of all energy resources and can even be harnessed in cloudy weather. The rate at
which solar energy is intercepted by the Earth is about 10,000 times greater than the rate at which humankind consumes
energy.

WIND ENERGY
Wind energy harnesses the kinetic energy of moving air by using large wind turbines located on land (onshore) or in sea-
or freshwater (offshore). Wind energy has been used for millennia, but onshore and offshore wind energy technologies
have evolved over the last few years to maximize the electricity produced - with taller turbines and larger rotor diameters.
GEOTHERMAL ENERGY
Geothermal energy utilizes the accessible thermal energy from the Earth’s interior. Heat is extracted from geothermal
reservoirs using wells or other means.
HYDROPOWER
Hydropower harnesses the energy of water moving from higher to lower elevations. It can be generated from reservoirs
and rivers. Reservoir hydropower plants rely on stored water in a reservoir, while run-of-river hydropower plants harness
energy from the available flow of the river.
2.Nonrenewable Resources:
Nonrenewable energy resources include coal, natural gas, oil, and nuclear energy. Once
these resources are used up, they cannot be replaced, which is a major problem for humanity
as we are currently dependent on them to supply most of our energy needs.
The term nonrenewable resource refers to a natural substance that is not replenished with the
speed at which it is consumed. As such, a nonrenewable resource is a finite resource.
Humans constantly draw on the reserves of these substances while the formation of new
supplies takes eons.
 SOURCES OF NON-RENEWABLE
RESOURCE
Coal
Coal is a black or brownish rock. We burn coal to create energy. Coal is ranked depending on how much
“carbonization” it has gone through. Carbonization is the process that ancient organisms undergo to become coal.
About three meters (10 feet) of solid vegetation crushed together form 0.3 meter (one foot) of coal!
Petroleum
Petroleum is a liquid fossil fuel. It is also called oil or crude oil. Petroleum is trapped by underground rock
formations. In some places, oil bubbles right out of the ground. At the LaBrea Tar Pits, in Los Angeles, California,
U.S., big pools of thick oil bubble up through the ground. Remains of animals that got trapped.
Nuclear Energy
Nuclear energy is usually considered another nonrenewable energy source. Although nuclear energy itself is
a renewable energy source, the material used in nuclear power plants is not.

• Energy production in Madhya Pradesh has started from the year 1905. The main energy sources in
the state are thermal power, hydropower, wind and solar energy. Thermal power is the main source
of energy in the state. The main thermal power plants are located in the main coal producing areas.
• Coal-based Thermal Power
A coal-based power plant is a thermal power plant that burns coal to generate electricity.
The coal is usually crushed and then burned in a pulverized coal-fired boiler. The heat of the furnace converts boiler water to steam, which
is then used to spin turbines that turn generators. Thus chemical energy stored in coal is converted into thermal energy, mechanical energy,
and, finally, electrical energy
Madhya Pradesh is situated on Gondwana land have rice reserves of coal and Mineral resources. Due to the rich presence of coal deposits,
many thermal power plants are established in the state.
• Hydro Power
Hydropower is derived from the fast-running water to produce electricity. This is performed by converting the gravitational potential or
kinetic energy of a water source to produce power.
Madhya Pradesh is called the “house of rivers” and hosts many Hydropower projects to generate electricity and provide water for
irrigation and industrial uses.
• Gas-Based Power Plant in Madhya Pradesh
In 1992, the gas-based power plant was built in the Bhander (Datiya) 1992. It was operated by the Essar Company in 1994. The total
energy-producing capacity of the plant is 342 MW. The gas is the plant acquired by the Hazira-Vijaypur-Jagdishpur gas pipeline.
Reliance Industries built a gas-based plant in the Shahdol district.
GAIL India is constructing a 380 MW gas-based power plant in Vijapur in the Guna district.

OF MADHYA PRADESH

• Bihar consumes 327.7 kWh of electricity per person, compared to India’s

1030.25 kWh. However, Bihar has consistently experienced a power shortage.
For economic growth to occur and be sustained, adequate, dependable,
inexpensive, and high-quality power must be available. It creates jobs, which
contribute to the elimination of poverty and the advancement of civilisation.
• Hydro Power
In order to promote renewable energy, the Bihar government established the Bihar Renewable Energy Development
Agency (BREDA). Bihar has an untapped renewable energy potential of more than 12.559 GW. The renewable
energy sector is being proposed to receive investments over the next few years. This project seeks to provide the
state with around 3433 MW of clean energy. This renewable energy will consist of 220 MW of modest
hydroelectric power, 244 MW of biomass, and 2969 MW of solar energy.
• Thermal Power
Barh Super Thermal Power Station or NTPC Barh is located in Barh in the Indian state of Bihar NTPC
Barh is located barely four kilometers (2.5 mi) east of the Barh sub-division on National Highway-
31 in Patna district. The project has been named a mega power project, and is owned by Indian energy
company National Thermal Power Corporation.
