Optoelectronics is the study of combined technology of electronic device and light. It is a sub-field of photonics. The study includes visible light as well as X-rays, gamma rays, ultra-violet (UV) rays, and infrared (IR) rays. Optoelectronic devices act as optical-toelectrical or electrical-to-optical transducers. LED, image sensors, optical switches, laser diodes, and optical isolators are some of the optoelectronics.

The exponential growth of the telecommunications network due to smartphone penetration has resulted in the sector becoming a key user of power. Distributed energy generation (DEG) is a vital tool that service providers can now use to lower their energy costs and to move toward green telecom. For instance, in 2016, in line with the company's long-term commitment toward green network initiatives, Indiantelecom service provider Bharti Airtel announced the migration of 40,000 of its telecom towers across India toward green technology. This is the first among a series of announcements about the company's planned deployments in India.Besides this, Airtel also plans to adopt solar and new battery technologies in a big way and double its green telecom towers by 2020.

In the past century, fossil fuels dominated as the chief source of energy. Among fossil fuels, crude oil has controlled almost all the aspects of the energy business. Crude oil is a mixture of compounds composed primarily of carbon and hydrogen in varying proportion, with presence of inorganic compounds such as nitrogen, sulfur and metals such as vanadium and mercury. Crude oil is found in specific rock formations, called reservoirs, in the earth's crust. The depth at which these reservoirs occur can vary significantly from pools that flow up to the surface to almost 15,000-meter underground. The method that is employed to get to these reservoirs of black gold is through drilling the surface till we reach the predefined depth.

2016年我国天然气消费量达到2058亿立方米，近15年复合增长15%，预计“十三五”期间需求年复合增速10%左右。我国天然气需求主要来自工业燃气、城市燃气、发电用气和化工四大领域。
