Description: For a century, the mastery of energy resources such as coal, petroleum, natural gas and to some extent, nuclear energy, has allowed a raise in the standard of living of the world's population, especially in developed countries. However, the abrupt increase in the petroleum prices that occurred in 1973 caused Man's interest in other energy resources. In Algeria, even if the opinions currently differ around a precise date, everyone is unanimous in saying that there will come a day when the depletion of fossil fuels will be inevitable.
