Concerns over energy resources and the environmental impact of
energy use will continue to be part of the polical agenda across
the globe. World Scientific's unique series of books on Current
Energy Issues is intended, in part, as an expansion and update of
the material contained in the World Scientific Handbook of Energy
but in part each volume will focus on related energy resources or
issues that contain a broader range of topics plus more explanatory
text than was possible in the Handbook. The authors will also take
the opportunity to update the data presented in the Handbook since
in many cases the field is rapidly changing.The Fossil Fuels volume
focuses on the main fossil resources, viz. coal, oil and natural
gas. Coal is still an extremely important resource especially for
electricity production around the world and the book discussed
methods for making coal a cleaner resource, including carbon
sequestration. There has been a rapid change in the mix of fossil
fuels mainly because of hydraulic fracturing which enables oil and
gas to be extracted from previously inaccessible formations. The
book describes this changing situation including the precautions
required to make the production of these fuels safe and
environmentally benign. Alternative fossil fuels such as methane
hydrates are also discussed.
