The world is undergoing a transition period between a phase of fossil fuel energy to a phase of clean and renewable energy. There is urgent need for the planet to develop a new range of renewable energy sources which are less carbon intensive and which will open up a new age for fuels. In such a scenario‚ the 21st century will be a transitional period for energy generation and consumption. It is probable that the world is moving towards a greater diversity in primary sources‚ in which each country

Potassium Hydroxide (KOH) Introduction Potassium hydroxide is an inorganic compound with the formula KOH‚ commonly called caustic potash. Along with sodium hydroxide (NaOH)‚ this colorless solid is a prototypical strong base. It has many industrial and niche applications. Most applications exploit its reactivity toward acids and its corrosive nature. In 2005‚ an estimated 700‚000 to 800‚000 tonnes were produced. Approximately 100 times more NaOH than KOH is produced annually. KOH is noteworthy
