Description and Table of Contents
Description
Diverse topics covered in this title containing the conference proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Energy and Sustainability involve interdisciplinary cooperation to arrive at optimum solutions, including materials, energy networks, new energy resources, storage solutions, waste to energy systems, smart grids and many others.Energy and Sustainability VI focuses on energy matters and the need to respond to the modern world's dependency on conventional fuels. The continuous use of fossil fuels has generated an increasing amount of interest in renewable energy resources and the search for sustainable energy policies.This book also presents the following topics: Renewable Energy Resources; Biomass and Biofuels; Waste to Energy; Energy Production; Energy Efficiency; Energy Management; Energy and Transportation; Energy in the Built Environment; Energy and the Environment; CO2 Capturing and Management; Sustainable Energy Production; Case Studies.
