Editorial Welcome to International Journal of Energy Resources Applications: A Journal focussing on the energy demand and applications

Abstract

Energy is an essential factor for any country's social and economic development. The need for energy is growing day by day along with the expansion of industrial and agricultural activities [1]. Energy consumption is extremely high in countries with rapid economic growth. As a result, energy is important for employment and economic competitiveness. Global population growth and rising energy demand coexist, nevertheless [2].To meet the energy demand, there is need of exploring the optimum utilization of the energy resources along with the prevention of pollution in the world. The world is focusing on energy production from renewable and non-renewable resources to produce energy in an efficient manner with more energy production with minimum usage of energy [3]. At present, energy demand is completed with the natural fossil fuels like petroleum, coal, natural gas. However, fossil fuels are limited and exhausting with time. So it’s a need of humans to switch and to utilize the maximum renewable resources. The present status and demand of energy is projected in the Fig.1 shows that energy demand will continuously grow in future and will be completed with the renewable and non-renewable resources. However world focus would be to generate energy more and more from renewable resources. Till 2050, the ratio of energy production from renewable resources will increase. In the present scenario and still 2050, it is not possible to generate all demand from renewable energy; hence world energy demand would also be full filled from conventional resources.
