Fossil fuels take millions of years to form within the earth and once we use up our reserves of fossil fuels, we will be out in the cold - literally unless we find other fuel sources because scientists estimate the world will run out of fossil fuels within the next 50 to 120 years.

Therefore whether we like or not it is necessary to look for alternate energy sources, and for electricit­y energy generation in industries most viable option is to go for solar power systems and for thermal energy generation in industries most viable option is the usage of sustainabl­e biomass.

Renewable resources have the potential to transform Sri Lanka’s energy supply for the better, since this energy source is “renewable” or will never run out and it could also be produced locally which can save millions in foreign exchange for our country. In addition, this will support the developmen­t plan of our country by generating employment.
