Abstract

Presently, the earth’s population is about 5.3 billion and is growing at the rate of 1.8% per year. However, the demand for energy is growing at a much higher rate (at about 3–4% per year), since the developing countries are trying to increase their energy consumption faster than the industrialized countries. Today, most of the energy demand is met by fossil fuels (i.e., coal, petroleum, and natural gas). On the other hand, it is estimated(1–3) that the world fossil-fuel production, beginning with petroleum and natural gas, will soon start declining. Nonconventional energy sources, such as solar, ocean thermal, wind, ocean currents, tides, waves, thermonuclear, and geothermal, are being considered as possible sources of energy to meet the growing demand.(4–15) However, none of these new energy sources have all the desirable qualities of petroleum and natural gas. For example, some are only intermittently available. Others are only available away from the consumption centers, and none can be used as a fuel for transportation. Therefore, it becomes necessary to find an intermediary or synthetic form of energy which can be produced using the nonconventional primary energy sources being considered.
