Hardcover. Zustand: New. This book presents a comprehensive review of energy research studies from authors across the globe, including recent research in the Geothermal Energy, Wind Energy, Solar Energy and Biogas. Sustainable development has been defined as balancing the fulfilment of human needs with the protection of the Natural environment so that these needs can be met not only in the present, but in the indefinite future. The term was used by the Brundtland Commission which coined what has become the most often-quoted definition of sustainable development as "development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own need." The field of sustainable development can be conceptually broken into four constituent parts: environmental sustainability, economic sustainability, social sustainability and political sustainability. This new book presents the latest research in the field. Climate change issues, the reduced world reserves of fossils, and higher and higher fuel prices play an important role in the development of clean technologies, such as biohydrogen, biodiesel and bioethanol, for producing renewable energy. This book gathers and presents current research from across the globe in the study of clean energy resources, their production and developments.…

Hardcover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. This book aims to offer the state-of-the-art reviews, current research and the future developments of biomass conversion to bioenergy for clean environment and biofuels. The production of bioenergy and biofuels from biomass (Green Chemistry Approach) towards the biomass conversion and the common examples of biofuels are biobutanol, bioethanol, and biodiesel. Biobutanol continuously draws the attention of researchers and industrialists because of its several advantages such as high energy contents, high hydrophobicity, good blending ability, and because it does not require modification in present combustion engines, and is less corrosive than other biofuels. Industrialization and globalization increasing conventional energy convention, causing numerous fluctuations in our ecosystem which increased level of heavy metals and other pollutants in environment. This book is intended to serve as a valuable reference/text for academic and industrial professionals engaged in research and development activities in the emerging field of biomass conversion and bioenergy production for sustainable clean environment. Introductory level to attract newcomers including senior undergraduate and postgraduate students. Since this book is the first of its kind devoted solely to biomass conversion, it is hoped that it will be sought after by a broader technical audience. The book may even be adopted as a textbook/reference book for researchers pursuing bioenergy technology courses that deal with biomass conversion to bioenergy.…

Hardcover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. On the other hand the sun is a major source of inexhaustible free energy (i.e., solar energy) for the planet Earth. Currently, new technologies are being employed to generate electricity from harvested solar energy. These approaches have already been proven and are widely practiced throughout the world as renewable alternatives to conventional non hydro technologies. Theoretically, solar energy possesses the potential to adequately fulfill the energy demands of the entire world if technologies for its harvesting and supplying were readily available. Nearly four million exajoules (1 EJ = 1018J) of solar energy reaches the earth annually, ca. 5 × 104 EJ of which is claimed to be easily harvestable. Despite this huge potential and increase in awareness, the contribution of solar energy to the global energy supply is still negligible. Another major prospect with regard to solar research is associated with the current drive toward reducing global carbon emissions, which has been a major global environmental, social, and economic issue in recent years. For example, 696,544 metric tons of CO2 emissions have been reduced or avoided via the installation of 113,533 household solar systems in California, USA. Therefore, the adoption of solar technologies would significantly mitigate and alleviate issues associated with energy security, climate change, unemployment, etc. It is also anticipated that its use will play an important role within the transportation sector in the future as it does not require any fuel transportation. This will help us expand our understanding on how much further we can count on solar energy to meet the future energy demand.…

Hardcover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. In recent decades, the rise of globalisation has increased the prospects of sustaining development through the use of modern information and communication technology (ICT). Most developing countries are still lacking to knowledge and information for increasing productivity and alleviating poverty. The ICT could be used a powerful tool to sustain development by enhancing allocation of resources and management of the environment. To this end, building ICT capacity allows developing countries to absorb, apply and create knowledge and disseminate information. Sustainable development is about learning how to bridge the gap between present and future generations. During the last decades, energy and energy prices have occupied a substantial space in the literature on development studies and international relations. In modern time, no society can survive without energy use. Currently, conventional energy sources, mainly oil and gas, account for almost 85% of total energy consumption worldwide. These resources are non-renewable and unevenly distributed across regions. Recent increase in oil prices, driven by rapid economic growth, has impacted economic growth in many nations causing unemployment, inflation and global recession. In particular, higher petroleum prices could have negative consequences to development programmes in many developing countries. Sustainable development is continues process of productivity growth driven by energy production and consumption. The aim of this study is to highlight the importance of indigenous knowledge for fostering economic growth and sustainable development. Recent literature on development studies considers knowledge as a key resource that can alleviate poverty, promote innovations, enhance competitiveness and create wealth. Development is a complex process of multidimensional factors involving both local and external forces. Knowledge for development must be appropriate in relation to a country's environmental, social, cultural, spiritual and economic landscape.…
