many of which are widely documented in the scientific literature.

      It is a founded reality that if the greenhouse gas emissions rise is not reversed, events leading to catastrophic changes in the global environment will result in a cascade with a consequential effect on human society and economy. Study efforts to seek alternative and sustainable energy fuels were triggered by a steady increase in energy usage and environmental pollution. Materials and techniques for the efficient use of alternative fuel resources are already being developed by many nations worldwide. These alternative fuels, also known as advanced or non‐traditional fuels, are compounds that can be used as fuels rather than conventional fuels. The word traditional fuel and nuclear materials such as uranium apply to petroleum (oil), coal, propane and natural gas. Biodiesel, bio alcohol (ethanol, methanol), hydrogen, chemically stored electricity (batteries and fuel cells), non‐fossil natural gas, non‐fossil methane and vegetable oils are common alternatives and well known. According to recent research, livestock, forestry and other land activities account for 23% of global human‐origin greenhouse gas emissions. Such emissions are caused by land‐use changes, such as deforestation, allowing space for crops, houses, and factories. Another 44% of the potent greenhouse gas methane comes from human‐driven agriculture, peatland degradation and other land‐based sources (IPCC 2019).

      Climate policy security writers have stressed that adequate discursive action has not been taken to counter climate change. There appears to be a broad gap between public policy discourses and their final discourses on climate change and energy security. While less attention has been paid to the relationship between the two major policy areas of climate change and energy protection itself, much attention has been paid to this in recent past. For two reasons, this is a big research field. Since energy accounts for about 60% of global emissions (Baumert et al. 2005), managing energy emissions would be critical for climate reduction goals.

      Moreover, in many countries, energy is viewed as a priority policy area, as it is an essential channel for economic development, progress and prosperity. Furthermore, it is relevant not only from a domestic viewpoint, but energy management also functions as a strategic foreign policy (Giddens 2011). Although climate change is bound to affect the energy market, the implications of policies designed to control climate change are expected to be immediate and potentially broader. Climate change issues pervade modern energy policy and resource renewability and energy protection problems that eventually contribute to economic growth. Increasingly strict environmental legislation must be placed on electricity providers to make major investments in lowering pollution, using renewable energy supplies, transmission infrastructure, replacing outdated technology and upgrading the grid.

      The energy crisis refers to the world’s rising need for energy to feed the growing population. With neither improving or reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, over‐dependence on efficiency and carbon trading has been demonstrated as a phenomenal mistake.

      Developing such a strategy will lead to decreased carbon usage, deter the expansion of less carbon‐intensive technology and restructure revenue gradually. In all subsequent stages of the supply chain, higher input prices on carbon content, and fossil fuels will encourage higher efficiency, reducing depletion and eventually reducing pollution (Veritas 2004).

      The need to obtain fossil fuels from politically turbulent or aggressive countries that have long been a cause of concern in the United States, or over‐dependence on a few selected suppliers, has been a cause of concern for the European Union in Russia. There are growing demands for energy ‘dependence’ on others and promoting renewables, which can achieve the desired goals and help combat climate change, as such conditions can be used for strategic gains (Friedman 2005). An urgent transition from traditional to renewable energy is required. It has been estimated that the United States could supply enough power to the entire United States by generating wind energy in the Dakotas and with the aid of 254 × 254 km of the Sahara desert, the world’s electricity demand could be met efficiently. Thus, desert‐rich nations should be financially encouraged to produce and export solar energy to the world. Likewise, several nations might become a tidal force, offshore wind, wave and current (Helweg‐Larsen and Bull 2007).

      Economic development, industrial society and the developed world’s overall lifestyle rely heavily on the energy provided by oil and gas supply. Accessible food production powered by industrial farming needs low‐cost supplies of natural gas and oil for goods and downstream purposes including pesticides, fertilizers, farming, harvesting, packaging, transport and marketing. All these big shifts in global industrial society made cheap oil energy products possible (Newton 2012). The availability of stable, skilled and reliable energy supply is essential for sustaining modern societies. Renewable energy can effectively support energy security problems at both ends, including supply and demand. Due to the finite and exhaustible state of fossil fuels, renewables
