We might face energy crisis in the near future due to consumption of large non renewable sources of energy like solar energy, hydro power energy etc. Our country Nepal is also not far from such energy crisis problem so we must use solar energy, bio gas energy and hydro power energy as alternative sources of energy to meet the demand.

In order to meet future energy needs in a sustainable way we must lessen our dependence on imported fossil fuels, reduce our carbon emissions, and embrace the transition to a sustainable, low carbon future. The transition to a low-carbon future must ensure security of supply and competitiveness.Atomic energy, solar energy, and energy from wind and bio fuels are just a few of the promising alternatives for a cleaner and greener future. Other relatively new sources of energy such as fuel cells, geothermal energy, and ocean energy are also being explored for energy demand. 

The best options for energy usage in future are : 

The Alternative Energy Sources of the Future
  • Space-based solar. Most solar energy doesn't actually make it into the Earth's atmosphere, so space-based solar power makes a lot of sense. ...
  • Human power. ...
  • Tidal power. ...
  • Hydrogen power. ...
  • Magma power. ...
  • Nuclear waste. ...
  • Embeddable solar power. ...
  • Algae power.

Global demand for energy is increasing rapidly, because of population and economic growth, especially in emerging market economies. While accompanied by greater prosperity, rising demand creates new challenges. Energy security concerns can emerge as more consumers require ever more energy resources.Global electricity demand will reach around 38,700 terawatt-hours by 2050 from 25,000 terawatt-hours in 2017, driving new investment in power generating capacity, according to our New Energy Outlook 2018.
