Is Sri Lanka a viable alternative energy source?

Moreover, Sri Lanka has also identified the potential for wind, bioenergy, and solar as alternative energy sources in the past two decades. However, the current contribution from these three renewable sources in comparison to hydroelectricity remains significantly low.

What can Sri Lanka do with excess wind energy?

Other applications to Sri Lanka are in the early discussion stages which include the ability to work on green hydrogen technology using excess wind to move from an energy deficit to a surplus situation (Fernando et al., 2023). Wind energy has the potential to be harnessed and transformed into hydrogen using an electrolyze.

Are Sri Lanka's renewable research activities being burdened by a lack of accurate data?

Sri Lanka's overall renewable research activities are being burdened by the lack of accurate and contemporary data, especially in line with renewable energy generation and utilization.

Can 'Gliricidia sepium' be used for biomass energy generation in Sri Lanka?

Local researchers have also identified the potential for using ‘Gliricidia sepium’ a multi-purpose, rapidly growing, and highly adaptive short-rotation coppicing tree typically growing wild throughout Sri Lanka as a viable option for biomass energy generation in the country (Atapattu et al., 2017; Dissanayake, 2021).
