Electricity is one of the fundamental inventions for human development. Virtually all of our activities depend in some way on electricity. However, if on the one hand it brings enormous benefits, electricity generation has a counterpart in being one of the largest global consumers of resources, especially in relation to the emission of greenhouse gases. Fossil fuels, mainly coal and natural gas, lead by far the global generation of electricity.
