Abstract

Energy is a multi-disciplinary research theme of pressing social relevance. Energy is an essential enabler of human wellbeing. It enables us to fulfil our basic human needs and is an indispensable catalyst of economic activity. Energy exists in various forms, such as heat, light and electricity, and is an essential part of maintaining our current, post-industrial revolution era, modern lifestyle. By waking up with a smartphone alarm clock, which is left charging overnight, turning the lights on and then the kettle to make a cup of coffee or tea in the morning, by using computers, tablets, microwave, refrigerators, cookers, toasters, dishwashers and a variety of available appliances throughout the day, by driving a car or taking a bus, train or aeroplane, for example, one cannot fail to notice that most of the objects we rely on in modern life are driven by energy. Being fundamental to the smooth running of contemporary societies, it is, therefore, of no surprise that energy is often said to be the lifeblood of modern society.
