This book presents an integrated approach to sustainably fulfilling energy requirements, considering various energy-usage sectors and applicable technologies in those sectors. It discusses smart cities, focusing on the design of urban transport systems and sources of energy for mobility. It also shares thoughts on individual consumption for ensuring the sustainability of energy resources and technologies for emission reductions for both mobility and stationary applications. For the latter, it examines case studies related to energy consumption in the manufacturing sector as well as domestic energy requirements. In addition it explores various distribution and policy aspects related to the power sector and sources of energy such as coal and biomass. This book will serve as a valuable resource for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers alike.

Generation of large scale power from coal is an economic option. This is specifically true for countries like India having large coal reserves. However, adverse effect on the environment in this process is presently under critical scrutiny. Generating power efficiently from coal in an environmentally benign way is of prime importance. 'Clean coal technologies' are the outcome of this effort. In this work a few advanced clean coal technology based power generation options has been conceptualized. Thermodynamic modeling for these schemes has been developed. Both energy and exergy analyses have been carried out using developed models to estimate the performance of schemes to find optimum solutions, if any
