Abstract
Energy is the material basis of human society’s survival and development. Our human civilization has reached an unprecedented height today. This was based on great energy consumption during the early and middle stages of industrialization especially in developed countries. Energy is extremely important for economic development such as modern agriculture, industry and transportation. At the same time, it is used in our daily lives such as for cooking, heating our houses and service facilities which also depend on energy heavily. Therefore, we can say that no modern society or civilization would be possible without a sustainable energy supply.
