With the rapid increase in oil and gas prices in India, the government has decided to maximize its potential by ramping up domestic production and import of coal. These actions hinder the progress of renewable energy and exacerbate the climate crisis, highlighting India’s heavy dependence on fossil fuels. The big question remains: How do we move away from such heavy reliance on non-renewable sources and work towards achieving net-zero carbon emissions?
According to data from the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), non-renewable fuels account for 80% of the current generation capacity.
Why India’s Still Using Fossil Fuels?
If burning fossil fuels harms life on Earth, why do we continue to rely on them as our primary energy source? Here are some reasons:
- Efficiency: Fossil fuels are incredibly efficient at producing energy. They are “energy-dense,” meaning that a small amount of fossil fuel can generate a lot of energy.
- Earning Source: For some, fossil fuels are a critical source of income. They argue that phasing out fossil fuels would be difficult because of the economic impact.
- Convenience: Fossil fuels result from natural processes over millions of years. For renewable energy sources, we need to figure out how to harness, transform, and store energy efficiently before it can be used.

Why Is Steamax Driving towards Renewable Energy?
The reality is that non-renewable energy resources will eventually run out. The transition to renewable energy must happen before it’s too late. If nature is destroyed permanently, there won’t be another chance to recover.
If you and your industry want to move away from fossil fuels, Steamax is here to help. Our Oil to Biomass Retrofit (OBR) Kit enables existing fossil fuel systems to switch to biomass-based systems. The OBR Kit can be easily integrated into existing oil, gas, or coal-fired systems at a fraction of the cost of a new setup.
Make the Switch with Steamax
It’s time to take a greenstep and transition to renewable energy. Steamax’s OBR Kit makes switching from fossil fuels to biomass easier and more cost-effective than ever. Let’s work together to create a cleaner, more sustainable world.For more information, contact us today at Phone: +91-9315124803.
