Future Energy: Improved, Sustainable and Clean Options for our Planet, 2nd Edition
ed. T. M. Letcher
Elsevier, New York, December 2013, ISBN:978-0-80994246
As the demand for global energy increases, fact-based evaluations of alternative energy sources are needed in order to address the growing interest in how energy is produced, provided, and transported in sustainable ways. Future Energy, Second Edition provides scientists and decision makers with the knowledge they need to understand the relative importance and magnitude of various energy production methods in order to make the energy decisions needed for sustaining development and dealing with climate change. It looks at the present energy situation and extrapolates to future scenarios related to global warming and the increase of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. This thoroughly revised and updated edition contains over 30 chapters on all aspects of future energy, each chapter updated and expanded by expert scientists and engineers in their respective fields, providing an unbiased and balanced view of the future of energy. It is the outcome of IUPAC project 2012-041-1-100.
