Many researchers are trying to find new renewable energy sources to help diminish carbon emissions‚ which cause global warming. Carbon dioxide (C02) is released from human activities as well as using fossil fuel these are the causes of global warming and the green-house effect (European commission 2003). The release of green house gases has risen because of increasing population and technology development which has resulted in high demand for the use of fossil fuels. This is a serious issue in many
