India moves to coal replacement step by step. One of the largest countries in the world actively introduces the application of renewable energy, in particular solar energy, trying to reduce the share of the coal industry. So, the company “CoalIndia” intends to stop the work of 37 coal mines by the spring of next year. This is 9% of the total number of mines of the enterprise. Solar power station “panda” was built In China. As already written by Orient, from above this complex resembles a huge figure of a panda. The power station in the city of Datong generates 3.2 billion kilowatts of electrical energy per hour. The company PandaGreenEnergy, which is the author of this solar farm, plans to build many more such facilities in the future. The coal mine is rebuilt into a battery of “clean” energy in Germany. In the German city of Bottrop, the 600-meter coal mine was rebuilt into a 200-megawatt hydro-accumulating electric power station that is enough to supply more than 400,000 homes. Working on the principle of a battery, it accumulates the excess energy produced by solar and windmills. Costa Rica - 300 days on renewable energy sources. Clean energy was used in this small state of Central America for 300 days. In 2016, clean energy was used by the country for 250 days, and a year earlier this figure reached 299 days. This record is broken by 5 renewable sources for energy production: hydropower, wind energy, geothermal energy, energy from biomass and solar energy. Almost all of humanity can abandon fossil fuels by 2050. According to forecasts, in a few years, half of the world's countries will generate energy from wind, sun and biofuel. A group of scientists at Stanford University compiled a “road map”, compliance with which will enable 139 countries to finally switch to alternative energy. This process will be easier for countries with a low population density.Aijahan ATABALLYEVA
