This book focusses on climate change and sustainable scientific and technological solutions. It includes topics related to environmental pollution, extreme environments, greenhouse gases and global warming, effects of climate change on water resources and forest resources, depletion of fossil fuels and generation of renewable energy, human health, agriculture and food security as per the UNSDGs. It covers wastewater management, production of renewable energy carriers, and climate change policies developed by international bodies.The following are its features: Covers the current perspective and technological solutions to climate change with sustainable development model.Aims to address causes and impacts of the climate crisis with its long-term implication on the ecosystem.Addresses the key aspects related to current climate crisis and its sustainable interventions.Includes focused case studies based on technological solutions especially 'green solutions'.Describes all aspects of the climate crises including air, water and energy sectors.This book is aimed at graduate students and researchers in environmental engineering, renewable energy, climate change and sustainable development.

Biohydrogen Production: Fundamentals and Technology Advances covers the fundamentals of biohydrogen production technology, including microbiology, biochemistry, feedstock requirements, and molecular biology of the biological hydrogen production processes. It also gives insight into scale-up problems and limitations. In addition, the book discusses mathematical modeling of the various processes involved in biohydrogen production and the software required to model the processes. The book summarizes research advances that have been made in this field and discusses bottlenecks of the various processes, which presently limit the commercialization of this technology. The authors also focus on the process economy, policy, and environmental impact of this technology, since the future of biohydrogen production depends not only on research advances, but also on economic considerations (the cost of fossil fuels), social espousal, and the development of H2 energy systems. The book describes the fundamentals of this technology interwoven with more advanced research findings. Further reading is suggested at the end of each chapter.Since the beauty of any innovation is its applicability, socioeconomic impact, and cost energy analysis, the book examines each of these points to give you a holistic picture of this technology. Illustrative diagrams, flow charts, and comprehensive tables detailing the scientific advancements provide an opportunity to understand the process comprehensively and meticulously. Written in a lucid style, the book supplies a complete knowledge bank about biohydrogen production processes.
