The world’s economy is fuelled by energy. Depletion of resources
and severe environmental effects resulting from the continuous use
of fossil fuels has motivated an increasing amount of interest in
renewable energy resources and the search for energy policies
leading to a sustainable future. The changes required to progress
from an economy mainly relying on hydrocarbons to one taking
advantage of sustainable renewable energy resources require
considerable scientific research, as well as the development of new
technology and design of energy systems. Energy policies and
management are of primary importance to achieve sustainability and
need to be compatible with recent advances in energy production and
distribution. In many cases, the challenges lie as much in the
conversion from renewable (wind, solar, etc.) to useful energy
forms (electricity, heat, fuel) at an acceptable cost that includes
the possible damage to the environment as in the integration of
these renewable forms of energy into the existing infrastructure.
The papers in this volume originate from the 10th edition of the
Energy and Sustainability conference whose scope was to address the
above issues. The conference covered diverse topics which often
require the collaboration between different disciplines so that
optimum solutions can be reached. The reported research includes,
among others, studies on energy policies, sustainable buildings,
renewable energy resources, energy and material systems
performance, energy storage and distribution, as well as
environmental issues linked to sustainability.
