Why and what is energy engineering???

Energy is the essence of human existence and catalyst for the development of a Nation. The continuously increasing global energy consumption and depleting conventional energy resources like fossil fuels are a great challenge to the mankind in the twenty-first century. The uses of these conventional resources are also held responsible for environmental pollution and the global warming.

It is the time to look ahead and work in the right direction for the best utilization of present conventional energy resources by developing more efficient technologies, to find out some viable alternative sustainable energy technologies and also to protect our environment for the next generation. In this scenario, environmental friendly renewable energy sources like, solar, wind, geothermal, hydro-power, tides, waves and biomass can play a key role to fulfill the global energy demand. 

Energy engineering is a vast field of engineering which deals with the energy auditing, energy management, power plant engineering and renewable energy technologies. It is one of the most recent engineering disciplines to emerge. It is a combination of three core engineering branch- MECHANICAL, CHEMICAL and ELECTRICAL.
