Introduction ## Why renewables Until the 19 th century, the main concern of humans was to gather food for family members, and technological progress, as a result, remained limited. Energy and fuels played a vital role in the evolution of human civilization since humans learned to ignite the fire for the very first time. The primary energy source was wood until 1700 and then coal superseded it in the 1780s. A rapid transition can be seen in the past three centuries including steam engines, enhancement in oil extraction and refinement techniques, and coalbased power plants that dramatically altered this fuel usage pattern. Hence, it took just two centuries to shift towards fulfilling 80% of energy requirements through fossil fuels whereas it took thousands of years to switch from wood to coal. Until now, coal is playing a vital role in fulfilling energy demands. However, its use remained limited, i.e., electricity production, till the development of the techniques to convert it into chemicals [1]. Their practical implementations are yet to be validated for commercial use before considering it as a replacement for fossil fuels. Coal consumption is further reduced because of the recent
