Moreover the sources of this fossil fuel are fast diminishing with the increased need of energy with the modernization of countries.

Renewable Energy Credits are measured in kilowatt hours, which are a standard electricity measurement metric. A kilowatt hour is the amount of work that can be performed by one kilowatt of energy in one hour.
