Abstract

Energy production for industrial and domestic purpose has primarily been based upon the combustion of fossil fuels, such as oil and coal and it has been reported that these resources are finite and pose significant environmental impact from their combustion. It has been predicted that coal will be a viable energy resource for 90-200years, while the world oil supply is reaching its peak due to over dependence on oil consumption. This was blame on the inability of energy sector to balance the oil supply with the increasing demand by various sectors including domestic consumption
