A-Background
Energy is playing an important role in the development of economy and society both in developed
and developing countries. On the other hand, energy usage causes a severe impact to the
environment that includes Global Warming by destruction of ozone layer, and green house gas
emission from heavy industries these caused subsequent natural disasters such as flood, drought,
storms and, as a result, causing huge damages to human life, animals and economy. These
difficulties and damages as well as the ceaseless increase of oil price in the world market, the
diversification of secure and sustainable renewable energy development is the best practice,
especially, the development of bio-fuel energy from some varieties of plants. The promotion,
encouragement and incentives in some countries have been done. For instance, countries of
European Union have set their strategy to reduce the usage of fossil fuel by 15% to 20% by the year
2020 with the replacement of bio-fuel and bio-diesel aiming at reducing green house gas emission
which destroyed the ozone layer, in the atmosphere to a reasonable rate.
