Beskrivning

With an emerging focus on fighting climate change and improving sustainability, it is imperative to share knowledge gained from investigating and addressing microbiological challenges in the non-renewable industry to the renewable industry. This book explores topics related to microbiological challenges impacting the energy sector. The chapters cover technological advances related to a wide range of topics including, but not limited to, microbiologically influenced corrosion in the energy sector, hydrocarbon biodegradation, and hydrogen storage. It offers cross-disciplinary knowledge and facilitates collaboration that can lead to holistic solutions for addressing complex microbiological challenges faced by the energy industry.Provides real-world perspectives on emerging trends, market demands, and technological challengesExplores fundamental concepts and disruptive breakthroughsBridges the gap between theory and application, accelerating the development of cutting-edge solutions and widespread adoption of technologies to address microbiological challengesThis text is aimed at an interdisciplinary audience, spanning readers in materials, chemical, process, corrosion, environmental, civil, and bioengineering.The Open Access version of this book, available at http://www.taylorfrancis.com, has been made available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC BY-NC-ND) 4.0 license.
