About this ebook
The focus of technological development has changed from sustaining life to improving the quality of life. This change is exerting excessive demand for fuel and resources. The consequences manifest as challenges to environmental and energy sustainability and to climate change. Thus, further technological advancements need urgent re-focusing to save the earth from becoming uninhabitable. This book looks specifically at the direction of technologies and research innovations, including those just entering the market for abating, rehabilitating, and restoring degraded environments. Scientific and engineering perspectives are presented on promising technologies for a) sustaining environmental conditions, which are cost-effective and efficient with the potential to reach the most underprivileged world economies and b) clean energy production, which is either renewable or has low- or zero-carbon emissions. This book is a ‘must-read’ for a diverse and interdisciplinary audience ranging from academics, researchers, industry professionals and advanced students.
