Environmental Examination of Solar Energy Application in three major GHG Emitter Countries of the World

This paper quantifies the pollution generation in the three major industrialized nations (India, China & US) by releasing CO2 & GHG gasses into the atmosphere from the power sector. The consequence of this pollution generation has also been discussed in this paper. It has already been known that Electricity and heat generation together contribute 42% of world CO2 & GHG emission and 22% emission is contributed by the transport sector. India ranked fourth as GHG emitter in the world and emits more than 5% of world’s total CO2 emission. India accounts for 10% of global emission with the trend of rapid increase by 3.4% per year from 2011 to 2035 as per projection of World Energy Outlook, 2013 [2] This paper also examines the possibilities of emission reduction by producing power from renewable energy, an alternative energy sources, mainly from solar energy, to save environment and to reduce our health hazard.
