From the reviews: ‘… invaluable source of information…’ (Chemistry World, June, 2010).
Sustainable solutions for modern economies is a professional reference book in the Green Chemistry Series containing the essential areas of green chemistry and sustainability in modern economies. Leading experts from Academia, Industry and Investment Banking discuss under sustainability aspects:
consumer behaviour and demands, lifestyles and mega trends, and their impact on innovation in the industry;
consumer industry requirements and their impact on suppliers;
emerging paradigm changes in raw material demand, availability, sourcing, and logistics;
contribution of the industry to restore the life support systems of the Earth;
The promise of ?green jobs” and a ?clean energy future” has roused the masses. But as Robert Bryce makes clear in this provocative book, that vision needs a major re-vision. We cannot?and will not?quit using carbon-based fuels at any time in the near future for a simple reason: they provide the horsepower that we crave. The hard reality is that oil, coal, and natural gas are here to stay.
Fueling our society requires more than sentiment and rhetoric; we need to make good decisions and smart investments based on facts. In Power Hungry, Bryce provides a supertanker-load of footnoted facts while shepherding readers through basic physics and math. And with the help of a panoply of vivid graphics and tables, he crushes a phalanx of energy myths, showing why renewables are not green, carbon capture and sequestration won’t work, and even?surprise!?that the U.S. is leading the world in energy efficiency. He also charts the amazing growth of the fuels of the future: natural gas and nuclear.
Power Hungry delivers a clear-eyed view of what America has ?in the tank,” and what’s needed to transform the gargantuan global energy sector.
The modern world is facing three critical problems: high fuel prices, climate change, and air pollution. Biohydrogen: For Future Engine Fuel Demands covers the production, purification, storage, pipeline transport, usage, and safety of biohydrogen. Hydrogen promises to be the most significant fuel source of the future, due to its global availability and the fact that water is its only by-product. Biofuels such as bioethanol, biodiesel, bio-oil, and biohydrogen are produced using technologies for thermochemically and biologically converting biomass. Hydrogen fuel production technologies can make use of either non-renewable sources, or renewable sources such as wind, solar and biorenewable resources.
Biohydrogen: For Future Engine Fuel Demands reviews all of the modern biomass-based transportation fuels, including bioethanol, biodiesel, biogas, biohydrogen, and fuel cells. The book also discusses issues of biohydrogen economy, policy and environmental impact. Biohydrogen will be the fuel of choice in the future, replacing both fossil fuels and biorenewable liquid fuels.
