Preface
Economic development changes society infrastructure that include fundamental facilities and service systems, production, transportation, distribution, communication, water supply, sewage, and so on. The need for such changes in a country is intensified by population growth that is an influential parameter of energy consumption. Energy demand in a country is mostly affected by the economic level and population of the country. Access to clean energy not only provides a foundation for economic deployment, but also improves human development. On the other hand, lack of sufficient choice in accessing to the clean energy brings about energy poverty, which is more visible in pre-developing countries. Economic development and population growth in the presence of limited energy resources trap the world into serious problems such as greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and global warming. Therefore, the United Nations was launched the program of sustainable development goals (SDGs) to improve human development conditions more focusing on sustainability. Sustainability in the energy consumption field looks for a b
