Bioelectrochemical Systems
In the context of wastewater treatment, Bioelectrochemical Systems (BESs) have gained considerable interest in the past few years, and several BES processes are on the brink of application to this area. This book, written by a large number of world experts in the different sub-topics, describes the different aspects and processes relevant to their development. Bioelectrochemical Systems (BESs) use micro-organisms to catalyze an oxidation and/or reduction reaction at an anodic and cathodic electrode respectively. Briefly, at an anode oxidation of organic and inorganic electron donors can occur. Prime examples of such electron donors are waste organics and sulfides. At the cathode, an electron...

Energy Literacy for Climate Action:
This book is a vital resource for all those who want to play their part in confronting what has been called “the greatest challenge of our time.” This layperson’s guide will help you understand the technologies and systems needed to achieve true sustainability. It explains how we can reduce greenhouse emissions, improve energy efficiency across the economy, develop a diverse portfolio of carbon-neutral energy sources, and harvest energy from nature (solar, wind, hydro, and other sources) as well as from the waste stream. It also examines innovative new solutions for moving and storing energy in buildings, industry, and transportation. With over 140 helpful figures and tables, this book provides the “energy literacy” needed to participate in this essential transition to sustainability, both as energy consumers and as citizen-participants in the decisions made by society.
Bioinspired Chemistry for Energy
Faced with the steady rise in energy costs, dwindling fossil fuel supplies, and the need to maintain a healthy environment - exploration of alternative energy sources is essential for meeting energy needs. Biological systems employ a variety of efficient ways to collect, store, use, and produce energy. By understanding the basic processes of biological models, scientists may be able to create systems that mimic biomolecules and produce energy in an efficient and cost effective manner. On May 14-15, 2007 a group of chemists, chemical engineers, and others from academia, government, and industry participated in a workshop sponsored by the Chemical Sciences Roundtable to explore how bioinspired chemistry can help solve some of the important energy issues the world faces today. The workshop featured presentations and discussions on the current energy challenges and how to address them, with emphasis on both the fundamental aspects and the robust implementation of bioinspired chemistry for energy.
