Following the success of its predecessor, this second edition of
The Future of Energy Use provides essential analysis of the use of
different forms of energy and their environmental and social
impacts. It examines conventional, nuclear and renewable sources
and technologies, using relevant case studies and providing a vital
link between technology and related policy issues. The new edition
has been comprehensively developed and updated, including new text,
diagrams and tables, with entire new sections that reflect the
significant changes that have occurred since the first edition. New
material includes: a stronger focus on climate change policy and
energy security; a discussion of the long run marginal costs of
oil; coverage of the biofuels debate in both the developed and
developing worlds; an outline of developments in the built
environment (including transport issues); and the relationship
between behaviour and energy use. It reviews policy shifts with
relation to energy efficiency, carbon capture and storage, combined
heat and power, and combined cycle gas turbines. There is new
coverage of nuclear waste, storage and proliferation, and new
material on microgeneration and biofuels, as well as essential new
information on carbon markets and the hydrogen economy. The result
is a unique introduction and guide to all the vital issues within
energy for students, academics and professionals new to the field.
