Preface
According to the United States Census Bureau, the world population as of January 2018 is 7.4 billion with China, India, and the United States being the most populous countries. The world population is projected to amplify over 8 billion by 2030. In addition to food, water, and oxygen as the basic needs of survival, the human civilization also requires supplementary energy sources such as electricity and fuel for sustenance and livelihood. Fossil fuels have fast-tracked the global industrialization and are the preferred source of energy for transportation, household, and industrial sectors. Fossil fuels in the form of crude oil, petroleum, diesel, coal and natural gas have dominated the worldwide energy sector since the industrial revolution. However, the deleterious impacts of fossil fuels on the ecosystem and the environment cannot be repudiate
