Abstract
Environmental problems associated with energy use consist of an increasing spectrum of pollutants, hazards, accidents, and degradation of environmental quality and natural ecology (Dincer, 1998). Climate change is threatening human beings on the world. Earthquakes, typhoons, cyclones, floods are the common natural disasters for all of us because of the seasonal variations. The industrilialized countries are mainly responsible for air pollution, ozone depletion, and carbon emissions due to the small contribution of developing countries (Dincer, 1998). Increased emissions of greenhouse gases from human activities are the main reason for this situation. In these days, acid rains, energy requirement, greenhouse gas effect, etc., are global problems for human beings.
