Abstract

The fossil fuel burning is the main culprit behind global warming
which resulted in greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions led by
carbon dioxide (CO2) emission, key contributor to environmental
pollution . The rising CO2 emissions intensity and global
warming complexities have raised the importance to focus on
alternative energy generation options. The serious concerns over
fossil fuel consumption, issue of energy security, and GHG
emissions challenges have brought attention to clean energy
sources among public and policy analysts as well.
