Abstract:
Historically, fossil fuels, notably coal, have formed the foundational energy source underpinning industrialisation and economic expansion, providing reliable energy. However, this dependence on fossil fuels poses substantial challenges to sustainable development. While these energy sources have historically driven economic progress, they are simultaneously the predominant contributors to greenhouse gas emissions, exacerbating climate change and causing environmental degradation.
