Exergy analysis of resources and processes
La humanidad necesita urgentemente técnicas que ahorren energía y recursos. La única manera de calcular la cantidad de energía que puede ahorrarse en un proceso determinado es analizando las irreversibilidades que genera. La segunda ley de la termodinámica las indica de forma precisa por medio del balance de exergía. No es un método, es el método: no hay otro. Este libro explica el modo de calcular la exergía asociada a los procesos y a cualquier sustancia compleja. Constituye, por ello, un instrumento sumamente útil para una introducción rigurosa a la teoría general del ahorro de recursos.

Nexus
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Sapiens comes the groundbreaking story of how information networks have made, and unmade, our world. For the last 100,000 years, we Sapiens have accumulated enormous power. But despite all our discoveries, inventions, and conquests, we now find ourselves in an existential crisis. The world is on the verge of ecological collapse. Misinformation abounds. And we are rushing headlong into the age of AI—a new information network that threatens to annihilate us. For all that we have accomplished, why are we so self-destructive? Nexus looks through the long lens of human history to consider how the flow of information has shaped us, and our world. ...
Thanatia: The Destiny Of The Earth's Mineral Resources - A Thermodynamic Cradle-to-cradle Assessment
Is Gaia becoming Thanatia, a resource exhausted planet? For how long can our high-tech society be sustained in the light of declining mineral ore grades, heavy dependence on un-recycled critical metals and accelerated material dispersion? These are all root causes of future disruptions that need to be addressed today.This book presents a cradle-to-cradle view of the Earth's abiotic resources through a novel and rigorous approach based on the Second Law of Thermodynamics: heat dissipates and materials deteriorate and disperse. Quality is irreversibly lost. This allows for the assessment of such depletion and can be used to estimate the year where production of the main mineral commodities cou...

Thanatia. Límites materiales de la transición energética
La Tierra se ha convertido en una enorme mina; año tras año está aumentando la cantidad, y variedad, de recursos minerales que se extraen. Todas las tecnologías, desde los vehículos eléctricos hasta los equipos electrónicos, requieren grandes cantidades de materias primas, algunas de ellas muy escasas. En un planeta con recursos limitados, ¿habrá suficiente para satisfacer la demanda de la población mundial? ¿Cuáles serán las consecuencias de este consumo desmesurado de los recursos? Este libro brinda a los lectores una comprensión profunda del agotamiento de los minerales a través de la geología, la minería, la metalurgia y la termodinámica.
Energy, Complexity and Wealth Maximization
This book is about the mechanisms of wealth creation, or what we like to think of as evolutionary "progress." The massive circular flow of goods and services between producers and consumers is not a perpetual motion machine; it has been dependent for the past 150 years on energy inputs from a finite storage of fossil fuels. In this book, you will learn about the three key requirements for wealth creation, and how this process acts according to physical laws, and usually after some part of the natural wealth of the planet has been exploited in an episode of "creative destruction." Knowledge and natural capital, particularly energy, will interact to power the human wealth engine in the future ...
Ecología industrial: cerrando el ciclo de materiales (Serie Eficiencia energética)
La ecología industrial es un área multidisciplinar cuyo objetivo es organizar los sistemas industriales de una forma similar a los ecosistemas naturales, e implica una interacción entre industrias (flujos de materia, energía e información) y una relación sostenible con el medio ambiente y la sociedad. Un objetivo fundamental de esta relación entre industrias es el cierre de ciclos de materia. Esto implica la utilización de los residuos de una industria como materias primas para otras, tal y como ocurre en los ecosistemas naturales. Esto permite reducir tanto el consumo de recursos como la producción de residuos.
Economía Circular-Espiral
Los actuales modos productivistas y consumistas deben encarar una transición rápida y justa (sin dejar a nadie atrás), evolucionando desde una economía lineal ('tomar-fabricar-consumir-eliminar') hacia una economía circular basada en procesos metabólicos de ciclos cerrados que sean ecoeficientes y sostenibles para garantizar la suficiencia de un consumo racional. La nueva lógica de la 'circularidad sostenible' va más allá del uso eficiente de los recursos y del 'súper-reciclado' porque exige un cambio sistémico del modelo económico que sea coherente con la finitud de los recursos naturales y la suficiencia del consumo racional. Además, no todo puede reciclarse porque existen lí...
