Biofuels have been around as long as cars have.

A biofuel is a fuel that contains energy from geologically recent carbon fixation. These fuels are produced from living organisms.

Generating Electricity from Wing Waves.

Wind turbines, like windmills, are mounted on a tower to capture the most energy. At 100 feet (30 meters) or more aboveground, they can take advantage of the faster and less turbulent wind.

Producing electricity from solar energy.

Solar energy is a free, inexhaustible resource, yet harnessing it is a relatively new idea. The ability to use solar power for heat was the first discovery.

Turbines catch the wind's energy with their propeller-like blades.

A blade acts much like an airplane wing. When the wind blows, a pocket of low-pressure air forms on the downwind side of the blade.

Solar energy may have had great potential

Solar technology advanced to roughly its present design in 1908 when William J. Bailey of the Carnegie Steel Company invented a collector with an insulated box and copper coils.

We have been harnessing the wind's energy for hundreds of years.

For utility-scale sources of wind energy, a large number of wind turbines are usually built close together to form awind plant.

Biofuels are produced from living organisms.

In order to be considered a biofuel the fuel must contain over 80 percent renewable materials.

Geothermal energy is the heat from the Earth.

Resources of geothermal energy range from the shallow ground to hot water and hot rock found a few miles beneath the Earth's surface, and down even deeper to the extremely high temperatures of molten rock called magma.

Geothermal heat pumps can tap into this resource to heat and cool buildings.

A geothermal heat pump system consists of a heat pump, an air delivery system (ductwork), and a heat exchanger-a system of pipes buried in the shallow ground near the building.

In the future, civilization will be forced to research and develop alternative energy sources.

Possession of surplus energy is, of course, a requisite for any kind of civilization, for if man possesses merely the energy of his own muscles, he must expend all his strength - mental and physical - to obtain the bare necessities of life.

Inox Wind Surges 31 In Debut Trade
According to reports, shares of wind turbine manufacturer Inox Wind Ltd rose as much as 31% above its issue price to touch Rs.426 on Thursday, after debuting on the BSE at Rs.400. At 10.24am, the shares were trading at Rs.415, up 27.78%.

Inox Wind had issued shares at Rs.325 in its initial public offering (IPO) which was oversubscribed by 18 times. The company raised around Rs.700 crore in the IPO. Inox Wind's parent Gujarat Fluorochemicals Ltd is selling 10 million shares at Rs.315-325.

Inox Wind has allotted over 9.42 million shares for Rs.306 crore to anchor investors. Goldman Sachs India Fund, Swiss Finance Corp. (Mauritius) Ltd, Indus India Fund (Mauritius) Ltd, IDFC Infrastructure Fund and Sundaram Mutual Fund A/C Sundaram Equity Multiplier are among the anchor investors.

The company manufactures wind turbine generators (WTG) and provides turnkey solutions to wind power generators. It has licences from at least two international wind energy technology companies to manufacture WTGs.

Renewable energy is a focus industry for the government. The recent budget, which doubled the coal cess for a clean energy fund, emphasised on achieving the 175,000 megawatt (MW) target for clean energy installations by 2022.

In the nine months ended December 2014, the company produced and sold 190 WTGs compared with 60 in the year ended March 2012. Revenue for the same period was Rs.1,795 crore as compared with Rs.100 crore for the year ended March 2012. As of December 2014, its order book comprised of orders for WTG with an aggregate capacity of 1,258 MW.

Bank of America Merrill Lynch, Yes Bank Ltd, Axis Capital Holdings Ltd and Edelweiss Financial Services Ltd were the advisors for the Inox Wind share sale.
