Social Networking for Speedy Implementation of Green Technology in India

Abstract

There is global awareness about the need of reducing carbon footprint and use of non conventional energy sources. India has ample solar energy potential, numerous sites for harvesting wind energy, vast length of sea coast for tapping tidal energy, huge quantities of agro-wastes and nuclear energy capability.

Green Technology is mandatory for ensuring sustainable development. However, the adoption of this technology has remained marginal and restricted to environmentally conscious or wealthy people with main motive of value addition rather than economy and energy conservation.

Reasons for such slow progress in wide scale application and adoption of these energy alternatives may be attributed to failure in proper R. & D. activities, Data compilation and lack of mass scale education about the payback calculations and overall economics. Web technology can effective provide platform for creating awareness, imparting education and an interactive effective mechanism for boosting and monitoring the growth of business in Green Technology sector. The paper outlines the social networking objectives of www.green-tech.biz for speedy implementation of Green Technology in India.
