Abstract:
"Population expansion and industrial development are raising the world's energy need significantly. It is essential to emphasise that developing nations have a significant contribution in doubling the global population in a single generation. Energy crisis prevention is one of the greatest issues of the 21st century. In order to meet the needs of the world's growing population, the need for energy is rising rapidly. Different nations use different tactics, methods, programmes, and control mechanisms to enter the global system. Resources in the world are becoming more scarce owing to population growth and development activities. Energy sources are crucial to consider because they play a key role in meeting the needs of the global population. However, the available energy is insufficient for people for several reasons such as a country's profile of growth, the economic standing of its citizens, and the nature of its technological breakthroughs. Fossil fuels, which are easily accessible and frequently used to supply the global energy demand, emit a variety of pollutants that significantly harm the environment. Because of their rapid population growth and aspirations for sustainable economic development, developing nations are increasingly under pressure to seek out energy sources. Since energy demand is proportional to economic growth, it increases alongside economic development. Although several strategies for increasing energy production capacity have been put forth, many people still reside in undeveloped regions of developing nations. Since non-renewable energy sources are limited and exhaustible, their introduction would not be guaranteed to meet energy demand. To build a long-term environment conducive to human life, all nations should be able to utilise energy recovery resources. However, it is not currently practised properly to carry out such work, because many countries depend more on finite energy sources as compared to renewable energy sources. It is well known that many contentious issues between countries are causing severe disasters since dominant groups frequently have access to regions with substantial fossil fuel sources. Furthermore, the prolonged use of non-renewable energy sources could also have an impact on climate change, which could lead to major natural disasters that destroy ecosystems on Earth."-- Provided by publisher.
