Every day, we produce tons of carbon and add it into the atmosphere as we move on with our daily lives. We’ve been using – rather abusing – fossil fuels as a source of energy since the industrial revolution, and have done considerable damage to the globe. Our carbon footprints will remain in the atmosphere for at least another hundred years.
There are several problems associated with using fossil fuels as a source of energy. It took millions of years for plant and animal matter to decay, compress and turn into fossil fuels beneath the surface of the earth. It cannot be regenerated at the same rate at which we use them. Sooner or later, we are bound to run out of it
With the advancement of science and technology, we have come to realize that we don’t need to burn fossil fuels any more to power our houses, automobiles and factories. We have sources that are sustainable and renewable...so we thinking to fined alternatives ways....

The largest solar farm in Africa, the Jasper PV Project located in South Africa, was completed in October 2014, with the capacity to to deliver 180,000 megawatt-hours of electricity every year to over 80,000 homes. In mid-2015, the Africa Progress Panel launched a report that set out a plan to make electricity accessible to every single person on the African continent by 2030. The report, titled Power, People, Planet, Africa, called for this to be done with renewable electricity, effectively asking leaders of African nations to leapfrog using fossil fuels. The Africa Progress Panel aims to provide low-cost solar panels that would make energy accessible to the 621 million people lacking access to electricity today. The estimated amount of money needed is 55 billion USD. According to the Panel, half this amount could be generated from within the African continent by increasing sub-Saharan Africa's tax-to GDP ratio by one percent of GDP. Another 20 billion would come from a new 'connectivity fund' of which half would come from Africa itself and another half from bilateral aid.

Hi Neeran,
All of renewable source of energies are environmentally friendly, like Solar energy, Biomass energy, Wind and Geothermal energy and ... but if you want a low-cost alternative between them, i can suggest you Biomass fuels especially municipal solid wastes or sewage sludge.

Finding sustainable energy sources that replace the current environment harming sources is one of the biggest glabal challenges, and it is one of the hot research topics... so I think the answer to your question still requires sometime ...
Regards
Future energy source:
1. Sun rays.
2. Hydrogen gas from breaking of water molecule.
