As we are moving ahead into the 21st century, our hunger for cost
effective and environmentally friendly energy continues to grow.
The Energy Information Administration of US has forecasted that
only in the first two decades of the 21st century, our energy
demand will increase by 60% compared to the levels at the end of
the 20th century. Fossil fuels have been traditionally the major
primary energy sources worldwide, and their role is expected to
continue growing for the forecasted period, due to their inherent
cost competitiveness compared to non-fossil fuel energy sources.
However, the current fossil energy scenario is undergoing
significant transformations, especially to accommodate increasingly
stringent environmental challenges of contaminants like sulfur
dioxide, nitrogen oxides or mercury, while still providing
affordable energy. Furthermore, traditional fossil fuel utilization
is inherently plagued with greenhouse gas emissions from
combustion, especially carbon dioxide from stationary sources as
well as from mobile sources. Should worldwide government policies
dictate a reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, such as proposed
by the Kyoto Protocol and the implementation of carbon taxes,
fossil fuels would lose their significant competitive appeal in
favor of nuclear energy and renewable energy sources. However, the
current non-fossil fuel energy share of the worldwide energy market
is merely below 15%, and therefore, it is more likely that fossil
fuel energy producers would adapt to the new requirements by
developing and implementing emission control technologies, and
emission trades among other strategies."

There is an increasing challenge for chemical industry and research
institutions to find cost-efficient and environmentally sound
methods of converting natural resources into fuels chemicals and
energy. Catalysts are essential to these processes and the
Catalysis Specialist Periodical Report series serves to highlight
major developments in this area. This series provides systematic
and detailed reviews of topics of interest to scientists and
engineers in the catalysis field. The coverage includes all major
areas of heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysis and also specific
applications of catalysis such as NOx control kinetics and
experimental techniques such as microcalorimetry. Each chapter is
compiled by recognised experts within their specialist fields and
provides a summary of the current literature. This series will be
of interest to all those in academia and industry who need an
up-to-date critical analysis and summary of catalysis research and
applications. Catalysis will be of interest to anyone working in
academia and industry that needs an up-to-date critical analysis
and summary of catalysis research and applications. Specialist
Periodical Reports provide systematic and detailed review coverage
in major areas of chemical research. Compiled by teams of leading
experts in their specialist fields, this series is designed to help
the chemistry community keep current with the latest developments
in their field. Each volume in the series is published either
annually or biennially and is a superb reference point for
researchers. www.rsc.org/spr
