Process Technology for insitu Generation of Green Energy & Potable Water Without Emission of Green House Gases by Utilisation of Sunlight, Natural Water and Nano Particles (as Photocatalysts)

Abstract

Energy, fertiliser, bio-fuels and potable water are vital input for social and economic development of a nation. As a result of the generalization of agricultural, industrial and domestic activities, the demand for energy, fertilisers, fuels,& potable water have increased remarkably, especially in emergent countries like India. These have meant rapid growth in the level of greenhouse gas emissions in the existing process of energy generation, fertiliser/fuel production , the increase in fuel & fertiliser prices, crisis of potable/drinking waters specially in coastal/desert area and requirement of organic waste management which are the main driving forces behind efforts to utilize this renewable energy/fertiliser/fuel sources more effectively, i.e. energy/fuel/fertiliser /potable water which come from natural resources and are also naturally replenished. Despite the obvious advantages of renewable energy, it presents important drawbacks, such as the discontinuity of generation, as most renewable energy resources depend on the climate, which is why their use requires complex integrated process technology design, planning and control optimization. This paper presents the current state of the art in the process technology applied for renewable and sustainable energy/fuels/potable water generation by utilising available natural resources, with a clear vision for advancement in this field.
