    Primary energy sources include fossil fuels like coal, oil and natural gas. Secondary energy sources are those generated from primary sources, like electricity. Conventional energy sources are fossil fuels, non-conventional sources include solar, wind, hydel and biomass. Renewable energy sources can be replenished naturally, like sunlight and wind. Fossil fuels currently account for around 80% of global energy consumption. Coal meets over 50% of India's energy needs. The 1970s marked the beginning of large-scale planning for renewable energy worldwide. Global warming is mainly caused by greenhouse gas emissions from the burning of fossil fuels. Greenhouse gases include carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide.
