Water, in all its forms, may be the key to an environmentally
friendly energy economy. Water is free, there is plenty of it, plus
it carries what is generally believed to be the best long-term
source of green energy-hydrogen. Water for Energy and Fuel
Production explores the many roles of water in the energy and fuel
industry. The text not only discusses water's use as a direct
source of energy and fuel-such as hydrogen from water dissociation,
methane from water-based clathrate molecules, hydroelectric dams,
and hydrokinetic energy from tidal waves, off-shore undercurrents,
and inland waterways-but also: Describes water's benign application
in the production of oil, gas, coal, uranium, biomass, and other
raw fuels, and as an energy carrier in the form of hot water and
steam Examines water's role as a reactant, reaction medium, and
catalyst-as well as steam's role as a reactant-for the conversion
of raw fuels to synthetic fuels Explains how supercritical water
can be used to convert fossil- and bio-based feedstock to synthetic
fuels in the presence and absence of a catalyst Employing
illustrative case studies and commercial examples, Water for Energy
and Fuel Production demonstrates the versatility of water as a
provider of energy and fuel, conveying the message that as energy
demand and environmental concerns grow, so should our vigilance in
pursuing the role of water in the energy landscape.
