OverviewThere is growing awareness of the serious problems associated with the provision of sufficient energy to meet human needs to fuel economic growth worlwide. Current energy production and usage patterns rely heavily on combustion of fossil fuels, a key factor in the increase in carbon dioxide concentrations in the earth's atmosphere that contribute to global warming.
