Energy production and consumption are the major factors that determine the development of a country. More production and consumption of energy means more economic growth of the industries, means of transport and the quality of life we live in. However, most of the energy used and produced is Fossil Energy which contributes around 90% of the global energy demand. By 2040, the world energy consumption is expected to increase by 40%. 1/3rd of the world energy consumption belongs to the transportation sector and from that, 85% consumes by the road transportation sector, according to International Energy Outlook [1]. But more the consumption of the conventional sources of energy like the burning of fossil fuels, petroleum, diesel, etc. more will be the impact on the environment. Around 20075 TWh of energy was released to the atmosphere in the US in 2018 [2].
