Introduction

L

ife is a continuous process of energy conversion and transformation. The accomplishment of civilization has largely been accomplished due to the increasing efficient and extensive harnessing of various forms of energy to extend human capabilities and ingenuity. Energy is thus one of the indispensable factors for continuous development and economic growth [1]. However, at the same time, energy production can contribute to local environment degradation, such as air pollution and global environmental problems, principally climate change. Fig. 1 shows the energy demand for Malaysia in the year 1999, 2002 and estimated values for 2005, 2010 [2].
