11.1 Introduction
Production of fossil fuels and consumption of energy are continuously increasing due
to a rapid increase in the worldwide population and industrial sectors [1–3]. Currently,
fossil fuels contribute about one-third of the world energy supply and play a crucial
role in improving human living standards and economies. The International Energy
Outlook 2017 reported that world energy consumption was 607 quadrillion kilojoules
