Beskrivning

Fundamentals and Advances in Sustainable Energy Processes and Applications offers a holistic approach to sustainable energy, covering the fundamentals of production, storage, and deployment, as well as new technologies and innovations, environmental issues, economic factors, energy transition, non-conventional energy resources, new opportunities, and future perspectives. The book begins by providing an overview of sustainable energy resources, introducing solar, wave, wind, nuclear, and geothermal power. The second part of the book focuses on emerging bioenergy and agroenergy production technologies, discussing biofuels, biorefinery, agroenergy, bioenergy production technologies, bioenergy via fermentation, and biogas.

A final section addresses cross-cutting technologies and energy resources, with information on AI for sustainable energy, carbon capture, synfuels, carbon-free hydrogen, techno-economic analysis, and opportunities in rural areas. Part of the Elsevier Renewable Energy Fundamentals Book Series, this volume supports all those looking to gain a basic understanding of sustainable energy processes and systems, including students, graduates, junior engineers, technicians, R&D personnel, scientists, policy makers, and other professionals with an interest in clean energy and the energy sector.
