Abstract: Today the major challenge in the technological field is of the provision of energy which is the key factor for the automation and development of the country. The usage of the fossil fuel based energy and the conventional sources to be minimized and a greater emphasis is on harnessing the renewable energy which is abundantly available in the nature. This transition requires the technology and adaptation. Hence improving the energy intensity and per capita consumption drives the economy of the country thereby making the country green. The increase in the energy efficiency reflects the nation’s economy. The gap in the demand and supply is creating a pressure on reducing the energy consumption in one of the sectors like transportation which accounts to 20% of the world’s total primary energy consumption and produces much of the world’s population. The provision of nano technology in industry provides increased production efficiencies and in renewable energy sector it balances the usage of the sources. The chain of energy sector is benefitted with the application of inventions in nano technology. The various benefits are observed from the application of nanotechnology based products and each part of the energy chain. Basically, Nanotechnology is the creation of useful materials, devices and systems of any size .The nano scale materials exhibits unique mechanical, electronic, photonic and magnetic properties. This results in the applications of nano materials in the development of energy sources , conversion of energy, transmission and distribution of energy, energy storage and energy usage.
