The Future of Energy

摘要: Using the principle that extracting energy from environment always involves some type of impact on environment, The Future Energy discusses sources, technologies, and tradeoffs involved in meeting world's needs. A historical, scientific, technical background set stage for discussions a wide range including conventional fossil fuels like oil, gas, coal, as well emerging renewable sources solar, wind, geothermal, biofuels. Readers will learn there are no truly "green" sources—all usage tradeoffs—and understand these other issues using each source.   Each potential source includes economics, environmental, policy implications Examples cases implementing technology included throughout book Technical supported with equations, graphs, tables Includes carbon capture sequestration technologies to manage dioxide emissions
