The best mitigation measure to reduce atmospheric carbon will be promotion of green energy and increment of forest cover. However, Hydro-power development a source of cost-effective and low-carbon renewable energy adopted about 160 countries with capacity of 1209 GWe generates about 3500TWh per year along in Asia with 542GW installed capacity and 2,204 GW potential. Does promotion of hydro power development can contribute to reduce GHG or CO2 emission in the atmosphere than another green energy promoting technology ?
Dear Ramesh P. Bhatt ,
The most effective means is to reduce burning fossil fuels in thermodymanic machines.
This can be achieved by using renewable energies that are not emitting CO2 as solar and wind energy in addition to hydropower.
One can also increase the energy utilization efficiency in all its uses.
I would like that you see the proposed road map to substitute the fossil fuel PV

The hydropower is an excellent alternative renewable energy source for reducing COx emissions; however, the widespread use of hydropower is limited by many factors that include geographical constraints, and requiring investments. On the other hand, the use of various renewable energy sources in the energy production in distributed and centralised manner is a good approach for reducing COx emissions. This is also important from the energy security point of view. The inclusion of nuclear energy in the energy mix is important for bulk, and clean energy production.
