Publisher's Synopsis
Future energy technologies must embrace and achieve sustainability, via displacing fossil carbon intensive energy consumption or capture/re-using/sequestering fossil carbon. This book provides a deeper knowledge on individual low (and zero) carbon technologies in a comprehensive way covering details of recent developments on these technologies in different countries. It also covers materials and processes involved in the energy generation, transmission, distribution, storage, and policies and so forth including solar electrical, thermal systems, energy from biomass and biofuels, energy- transmission, distribution and storage, energy-efficient lighting buildings. Aimed at researchers, professionals and graduate students in energy technology, energy engineering, renewable energy engineering, clean energy, this book Focusses on individual low (and zero) carbon technologies in a comprehensive way Covers technological developments in different low carbon energy resources and processes Emphasize the concept of renewable energy usage and its role in global growth Describes future energy options and approach for energy security with sustainability
