Philosophiae Doctor - PhD / Fossil fuels are part of fuels that are formed from natural processes and they are called non-renewable sources of energy. These include natural gas, coal and oil. They have been used for decades to produce energy globally. However, there are some factors that related with the use of fossil fuels which results in an increase in the requirement of large amounts of energy. In addition, the use of fossil fuels as energy source has a negative impact on the environment and they cannot be reused. It is expected that at some point they will run out. Thus, a need for a renewable, clean and plentiful source of energy is urgent. Solar energy is one of the energy sources that may overcome fossil fuel drawbacks.
