- Abstract
- With the tremendous growth in science and technology, followed by the industrialization, the global energy demand is steeply increasing. Presently, mankind is largely dependent upon fossil fuel as a source of energy. Yet its overexploitation has lead to severe environmental concerns. Moreover the resource of fossil fuel is at a vanishing point, therefore global energy researchers are exploring alternative energy options. Salt Gradient Solar Pond (SGSP) is one such alternative which has been successfully applied in many parts of the world. India has vast potential for exploiting this technology. The present paper explores the scope of SGSP in India and its future prospects.
