This book combines issues several critical ones in the energy field
(low-energy technologies, renewable energies such as the hydrogen
economy, and geothermal energy). Moving towards a more sustainable
world requires a complete revolution in the way we manage energy
and resources. However, from an academic perspective, this theme is
so broad that most educators and researchers tend to focus on just
one aspect, and maintaining the broad viewpoint which is necessary
for making strategic judgments becomes difficult. Tohoku University
addressed this challenge when developing a new education and
training program for environmental leaders and brought together the
extensive range of expertise available in specific fields into one
special course which forms the basis of this book. Now in one
volume, both students and educators can be brought up to date on a
wide range of critical issues currently being addressed in the
field of energy and resources. Chapters on resources include
availability (for instance, rare earth metals), extraction and
recycling of metals and plastics, and technological solutions to
specific waste-disposal problems. In addition, broader strategic
issues such as limits to growth and the interaction between the
economic system and environmental issues are addressed. Even though
each chapter provides topical data and knowledge from disparate and
specialized fields, the book is written at a level that is readily
understandable by students from all scientific, engineering, and
humanities fields.
