Competition for energy resources worldwide will almost certainly
increase because of population growth and economic expansion,
especially in countries such as China and India, with large
populations. In addition, environmental concerns with the use of
certain energy sources add a complicating factor to decisions about
energy use. Therefore there is likely to be an increased commitment
around the world to invest in energy systems.The World Scientific
Handbook of Energy provides comprehensive, reliable and timely sets
of data on energy resources and uses; it gathers in one publication
a concise description of the current state-of-the-art for a wide
variety of energy resources, including data on resource
availability worldwide and at different cost levels. The end use of
energy in transportation, residential and industrial areas is
outlined, and energy storage, conservation and the impact on the
environment included.Experts and key personnel straddling academia
and related agencies and industries provide critical data for
further exploration and research.Experts in these various areas who
provide relevant data for further exploration and research include
former Head of the Nuclear Reactors Directorate of the CEA;
Director of the Potential Gas Agency, who leads a team of 100
geologists, geophysicists and petroleum engineers; former CEO of an
Icelandic engineering company that specializes in the design,
construction and operation of "Kalina" binary power plants for
geothermal, biomass and industrial waste heat recovery
applications; Chairman of the Scottish Hydrogen and Fuel Cells
Association; former Director of the Geo-Heat Center at the Oregon
Institute of Technology, who received the Patricius Medal from the
German Geothermal Association for "his pioneer work in the direct
use of geothermal energy"; Division Director of NETL's Strategic
Center for Coal, who provides expert guidance and consultation to
major DOE-funded clean coal technology and carbon sequestration
demonstration projects; an internationally recognized expert in the
physics and technology of Inertial Confinement Fusion (ICF); former
Senior Scientist and Director of the Center for Distributed
Generation and Thermal Distribution with Washington State
University, who was responsible for state policy, technical
assistance to resource developers and investigations related to
geothermal energy development; a main author on the 2005 Billion
Ton Report and 2011 Billion Ton Update; and many more extremely
well published and well known individuals straddling academia and
related agencies and industries.
