Energy and Climate Change
Energy and Climate Change: Our New Future is a novel handbook that provides a thorough, cross-disciplinary understanding of future energy, energy transition, and climate change. The book begins by presenting the key concepts of climate change, enabling the reader to better understand the root causes and future implications of global warming, before assessing the current role and future outlook for fossil fuel-based energy sources. This is followed by in-depth coverage of the very latest types of cleaner energy options available, giving the reader ways to solve the problems of global warming and climate change. These include both tried and tested renewable energy systems and novel ideas that ...
Prevention and Control of Accidental Releases of Hazardous Gases
Today's complex industrial plants can pose many risks of fire, explosions, and other hazardous incidents if proper safety mechanisms are not in place. Of particular concern are accidental gaseous emissions that jeopardize the health of workers and the facility itself. This guide explains the latest engineering and administrative options available for avoiding and controlling accidents, including how to set up reliable systems for preventing and mitigating accidental releases as well as how to evaluate the performance of these systems.
Solar Power
In this important new primer, Dustin Mulvaney makes a passionate case for the significance of solar power energy and offers a vision for a more sustainable and just solar industry for the future. The solar energy industry has grown immensely over the past several years and now provides up to a fifth of California’s power. But despite its deservedly green reputation, solar development and deployment have potential social and environmental consequences, from poor factory labor standards to landscape impacts on wildlife. Using a wide variety of case studies and examples to trace the life cycle of photovoltaics, Mulvaney expertly outlines the state of the solar industry, exploring the ongoing conflicts between ecological concerns and climate mitigation strategies, as well as current trade disputes and the fate of toxins in solar waste products. This exceptional overview will outline the industry’s current challenges and possible future for students in environmental studies, energy policy, environmental sociology, and other aligned fields.
Practical Handbook of Photovoltaics
This handbook opens with an overview of solar radiation and how its energy can be tapped using photovoltaic cells. Other chapters cover the technology, manufacture and application of PV cells in real situations. The book ends by exploring the economic and business aspects of PV systems.
Onshore and Offshore Wind Energy
Highly accessible and authoritative account of how wind energy is safely harnessed to address the ever-pressing climate and energy challenges Onshore and Offshore Wind Energy provides an in-depth treatment of wind energy's scientific background, current technology, and international status, with an emphasis on large turbines and wind farms, both onshore and offshore. In the newly revised and fully expanded second edition, the highly qualified authors add on technological advances in the field including offshore wind turbine structures, foundation design, installation, grid integration, and reliability, and offer guidance on operation and maintenance. The text is supported by copious illustra...
Insurmountable Risks
The Dangers of Using Nuclear Power to Combat Global Climate Change.How much will nuclear energy cost relative to other means of getting rid of carbon dioxide emissions? What will be the risks of catastrophic accidents if we build reactors at the rate of one a week or more, cookie-cutter style, around the world? What about the risks of proliferation and terrorist attacks and nuclear waste? This is THE book providing a meticulously researched analysis of the risks of using nuclear energy to combat global warming. Were there no alternative, the severity of the threat facing humankind and other species from global climate change might warrant serious consideration of the risks of nuclear energy. But as Insurmountable Risks convincingly shows, there are far safer economical alternatives. A perfect factia; companion to the nuclear power debate at the heart of the 2008 Presidential campaign.
