Abstract

According to Spiro [1] “energy use underlies virtually all environmental issues...and its access is key to a better life for people and around the world.” The world currently depends on fossil fuel resources for much of its energy needs. The inevitable depletion of fossil fuel reserves and concomitant increase in atmospheric greenhouse gases are forcing a transition from fossil fuel to renewable energy sources such as solar, geothermal, wind and biomass [2,3]. Renewable energy sources are those which are not exhaustible, and which can provide continuous supply [4]. Other examples of renewable energy sources include wood, ocean thermal energy and tidal power.
