Abstract
Energy conversion is the key input for any proper consideration in energy production and consumption. The primary energy sources such as coal, natural gas, nuclear energy, petroleum, and renewable energy sources are used to generate secondary sources of energy like hydrogen. The secondary energy source made from primary energy sources. Our need for energy to create order in the world stems from 1850, when Rudolf Clausius and William Thomson (Kelvin) stated the second law of thermodynamics. To order the disorderness and randomness of the natural tendency of matter and energy, a constant flow of quality energy through the system should be created. This orderness could be generated by nature and human society on Earth via their potency to structure and acquire energy. This chapter will cover these fundamental principles in detail.
