Industrial biorefineries have been identified as the most promising routes to the creation of a bio-based economy. Partial biorefineries already exist in some energy crop, forest-based, and lignocellulosic product facilities. Biorefineries: For Biomass Upgrading Facilities examines the variety of different technologies which integrated bio-based industries use to produce chemicals; biofuels; food and feed ingredients; biomaterials; and power from biomass raw materials. These systems can be improved through better utilization of agricultural residues and solid wastes, and through...

Part one provides an introduction to WTE conversion and reviews the waste hierarchy and WTE systems options along with the corresponding environmental, regulatory and techno-economic issues facing this technology....

Following a concise overview of biogas as an energy option, part one explores biomass resources and fundamental science and engineering of biogas production, including feedstock...

Algal oil can be an important source of biomass and algae's ability to grow almost anywhere has encouraged scientists to also investigate its potential as a source of biodiesel. Algae Energy covers the production of algae culture and the usage of algal biomass conversion products. It also reviews modern biomass-based transportation fuels, including biodiesel, bio-oil, biomethane and biohydrogen.

Each chapter opens with fundamental explanations suitable for those with a general interest in algae energy and goes on to provide in-depth scientific details for more expert readers. Algae...

Renewable energy sources such as wind power have attracted much attention because they are environmentally friendly, do not produce carbon dioxide and other emitants, and can enhance a nation's energy security. For example, recently more significant amounts of wind power are being integrated into conventional power grids. Therefore, it is necessary to address various important and challenging issues related to wind power systems, which are significantly different from the traditional generation systems. This book is a resource for engineers, practitioners, and decision-makers interested in...

Part one provides an introduction to biomass supply chains and feedstocks, and...

Die Windenergie leistet in Deutschland schon heute einen grossen Beitrag zum Klimaschutz und zur Unabhangigkeit von fossilen und nuklearen Brennstoffen. Bis 2030 sollen onshore und offshore mehr als 50 GW Windkraftwerke installiert sein, aber nur noch 20 GW Kohlekraftwerke und keine Kernkraftwerke. Das Buch analysiert die systemtechnischen und okonomischen Aspekte dieses Totalumbaus des elektrischen Energiesystems unter Berucksichtigung des deutschen und des europaischen Energierechts. Hauptthemen hierzu sind: Optimierung der Windenergieanlagen und ihrer Netzanbindung, Ausbau der...

Dieses Lehrbuch gibt eine Einfuhrung in die Grundlagen der Energie- und Kraftwerkstechnik. Obgleich vertiefend die technisch-naturwissenschaftlichen Aufgaben im Mittelpunkt stehen, werden auch Fragestellungen der Okologie und Okonomie angemessen berucksichtigt.

Das Buch liefert den heutigen Stand der Technik und zukunftige Entwicklungsmoglichkeiten, es bringt im Einzelnen: Eine Ubersicht uber die verfugbaren Energiequellen (fossil, regenerativ, nuklear), behandelt die Prinzipien der Umwandlung der jeweiligen Primarenergie in Elektrizitat, die Darstellung moglicher Umweltbelastungen...

Part one outlines the challenges and developments in wind turbine blade design, including aerodynamic and aeroelastic design features, fatigue loads on wind turbine...

Hydrogen and Fuel Cells Primers is a series focused on Energy applications. Its concise volumes present those coming into this broad and multidisciplinary field with the most recent advances in each of its particular topics. They bring together information that has thus far been scattered in many different sources under one single title, which makes them a useful reference for industry professionals, researchers and graduate students, especially those starting in a new topic of research.

This volume, Recent Advances in High Temperature PEM Fuel Cells, provides an...

Technologies such as renewable energy alternatives including wind, solar and biomass, storage technologies and electric engines are creating a different landscape for the electricity industry. Using sources and ideas from technologies such as renewable energy alternatives, "Research and Technology Management in the Electricity Industry "explores a different landscape for this industry and applies it to the electric industry supported by real industry cases.

Divided into three sections, "Research and Technology Management in the Electricity Industry" introduces a range of methods and...

The modern era of human civilization has been confronted by increasing energy demand and global warming phenomenon, the biggest challenges to humans, which is resulting into climate change. The world today is focusing its attention to promoting renewable energy mixture along with energy efficiency program to mitigate greenhouse gases as well as to ensure sustainable future of the world. The basic activities of a modern society, including production of goods and service, and transportation should have near zero carbon emissions or have minimum value to cease or at least slow down the global...

Every day there are news reports that highlight spiraling energy costs, accelerating energy consumption, serious concerns over fuel security, and fears that oil production may soon decline, all set against a background of global warming and the devastating impact of climate change. The author of this book emphasizes that we need to use renewable energy technologies...
