Concerns over an unstable energy supply and the adverse
environmental impact of carbonaceous fuels have triggered
considerable efforts worldwide to find carbon-free or low-carbon
alternatives to conventional fossil fuels. Carbon-Neutral Fuels and
Energy Carriers emphasizes the vital role of carbon-neutral energy
sources, transportation fuels, and associated technologies for
establishing a sustainable energy future. Each chapter draws on the
insight of world-renowned experts in such diverse fields as
photochemistry and electrochemistry, solar and nuclear energy,
biofuels and synthetic fuels, carbon sequestration, and alternative
fuel vehicles.
After an introductory chapter on different energy options in a
carbon-constrained world and proposed measures to stabilize
atmospheric CO2, the book analyzes the advantages and challenges
facing the introduction of hydrogen fuel to the marketplace. It
then examines the role of nuclear power in the production of
carbon-free energy and fuels as well as the efficient use and
storage of renewable energy resources, emphasizing the production
of solar fuels from water and CO2. The book also discusses
different aspects of bioenergy and biofuels production and use and
the potential role of bio-inspired energy systems and industrial
processes. The final chapters present a thorough overview and
analysis of state-of-the-art fossil fuel decarbonization
technologies and clean transportation options.
This authoritative work provides the information needed to make
more informed choices regarding available clean energy and fuel
alternatives. It helps readers to better understand the
interconnection between energy and the environment as well as the
potential impact of human activities on climate.
