Arrange the contribution of the following sources of electricity gener

1.	Arrange the contribution of the following sources of electricity generation to the total electricity generation in ascending order:1. Nuclear Energy2. Hydro Energy3. Thermal Energy4. New and Renewable energyChoose the correct code-1.1<2<4<32.1<4<2<33.2<1<4<34.1<2<3<4
Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : 1<2<4<3 The correct answer is 1<2<4<3. In India, in 2018, thermal sources accounted for 82 percent of the power generation capacity. Hydel power accounted for 8.5 percent. While nuclear power accounted for only 2.5 percent. India’s energy policy encourages three energy sources — solar, hydel, and wind — as they do not rely on fossil fuel and, hence, avoid carbon emissions. This has not resulted in faster growth of electricity produced from these sources. At present, nuclear energy accounts for only 2.5 percent of the total energy consumption. The Nationally Determined Contributions of India under the Paris Climate deal are the targets of India which it strikes to furnish. NDCs of India are as follows- To reduce the carbon emission by 33-35% compared to 2005 levels. To ensure 40% of its electricity shall be generated through renewable sources. To create 2.5-3 billion tonnes of additional carbon sink through forests. NITI Aayog has launched the India Component of the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC)–Transport Initiative for Asia (TIA). It is in collaboration with Germany and has a duration of 4 years.

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 :

1<2<4<3

The correct answer is 1<2<4<3.

In India, in 2018, thermal sources accounted for 82 percent of the power generation capacity.
Hydel power accounted for 8.5 percent.
While nuclear power accounted for only 2.5 percent.
India’s energy policy encourages three energy sources — solar, hydel, and wind — as they do not rely on fossil fuel and, hence, avoid carbon emissions.
This has not resulted in faster growth of electricity produced from these sources.
At present, nuclear energy accounts for only 2.5 percent of the total energy consumption.
