Abstract

One crucial problem faced by India is the dependence on fossil energy reaching to 93,3%, while the share of renewable energy is only 7,7%. This causes two implications. Firstly, India is at the situation of insecurity energy due to the limitation of the availability of fossil energy. Since 2004, India is net importer oil country. Secondly, the use of fossil energy creates CO2, a component of greenhouse gases stimulating global warming and climate change. One strategy to deal with this problem is by implementing new energy system consisting of developing renewable energy and energy efficiency. This paper observes the impact of the use of fossil energy, the measures taken to deal with these problems and the issues of implementing the measures. This research relies on secondary data available at the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resource, Ministry of Environment and Forestry specifically at by Proper Secretariat, and other relevant sources.
