Unconventional energy sources have gained and will continue to gain
an increasing share of energy systems around the world. Today,
hydrogen is recognized as a non-polluting energy carrier because it
does not contribute to global warming if it is produced from
renewable sources. Hydrogen is already part of today's chemical
industry, but as an energy source, its rare advantages can only be
obtained with the help of technologies. Currently, the fuel cell is
considered the cleanest sustainable energy. With the development of
fuel cells, hydrogen-based energy generation becomes a reality.
Hydrogen Fuel Cell Technology for Stationary Applications is an
essential publication that focuses on the advantages of hydrogen as
a primary energy center and addresses its use in the sustainable
future of stationary applications. While highlighting a broad range
of topics including cost expectations, production methods, and
social impact, this publication explores all aspects of the
implementation and dissemination of fuel cell technology in the
hope of establishing a sustainable marketplace for it. This book is
ideally designed for fuel cell manufacturers, architects,
electrical engineers, civil engineers, environmental engineers,
advocates, manufacturers, mechanics, researchers, academicians, and
students.
This book is a call for action to face up to climate change.
McManners argues that that there is a way out of the world's
climate emergency which needs much greater realism than the United
Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). The
changing climate is leading to record temperatures and increasing
frequency of storms, but this is just the commencement of dangerous
consequences to come. It has become abundantly clear that a bold
approach is needed to pull back from catastrophe. People like Greta
Thunberg should be admired for speaking up, and we should
understand why organisations such as Extinction Rebellion exist.
However, protest without a clear agenda for change has little
lasting impact. The case for action is overwhelming, argued
eloquently by David Attenborough and other environmentalists. The
world's response must be real action, not empty promises. This book
provides the manifesto that protesters and environmentalists need.
It states clearly the need to close down fossil fuel without delay.
Individuals making change within their own lives will make little
difference. The solution is to demand even bigger changes which
apply to all. Read this book. Support the manifesto. Face Up to
Climate Change NOW.
Applications of Artificial Intelligence Techniques in the Petroleum
Industry gives engineers a critical resource to help them
understand the machine learning that will solve specific
engineering challenges. The reference begins with fundamentals,
covering preprocessing of data, types of intelligent models, and
training and optimization algorithms. The book moves on to
methodically address artificial intelligence technology and
applications by the upstream sector, covering exploration,
drilling, reservoir and production engineering. Final sections
cover current gaps and future challenges.
