Sustainable development and the role of energy in the development
process are vital issues and have gained a great deal of
attention over the last few decades. Fossil fuels are the main stream
of energy from ancient time. But unfortunately, these fossil fuel
reservoirs are dwindling very fast due to rapid growth in the global
population and industrialization. This crunch on the energy has
prompted the efforts all over the world to explore some alternative
and potential sustainable energy sources [1].
