While strides are being made in the research and development of
environmentally acceptable and more sustainable alternative
fuels-including efforts to reduce emissions of air pollutants
associated with combustion processes from electric power generation
and vehicular transportation-fossil fuel resources are limited and
may soon be on the verge of depletion in the near future. Measuring
the correlation between quality of life, energy consumption, and
the efficient utilization of energy, the Handbook of Alternative
Fuel Technologies, Second Edition thoroughly examines the science
and technology of alternative fuels and their processing
technologies. It focuses specifically on environmental,
technoeconomic, and socioeconomic issues associated with the use of
alternative energy sources, such as sustainability, applicable
technologies, modes of utilization, and impacts on society. Written
with research and development scientists and engineers in mind, the
material in this handbook provides a detailed description and an
assessment of available and feasible technologies, environmental
health and safety issues, governmental regulations, and issues and
agendas for R&D. It also includes alternative energy networks
for production, distribution, and consumption. What's New in This
Edition: Contains several new chapters of emerging interest and
updates various chapters throughout Includes coverage of coal
gasification and liquefaction, hydrogen technology and safety,
shale fuel by hydraulic fracturing, ethanol from lignocellulosics,
biodiesel, algae fuels, and energy from waste products Covers
statistics, current concerns, and future trends A single-volume
complete reference, the Handbook of Alternative Fuel Technologies,
Second Edition contains relevant information on chemistry,
technology, and novel approaches, as well as scientific foundations
for further enhancements and breakthroughs. In addition to its
purposes as a handbook for practicing scientists and engineers, it
can also be used as a textbook or as a reference book on fuel
science and engineering, energy and environment, chemical process
design, and energy and environmental policy.
