determine the best mix of input sources (renewable/non-renewable/commercial/noncommercial) of technology without repeated and expensive field trials. By
identifying and promoting energy-efficient technologies, it would be possible to
reduce expenditure on controlling climate change factors, particularly GHG
emissions. TNAU Energy Soft 2016 assists to find the ways and means to reduce
the non-renewable fossil fuel based inputs and to increase the use of renewable and
biological resources and ensures sustainable bioeconomy.
