Buch, Englisch, 488 Seiten, Format (B × H): 156 mm x 234 mm

Sustainable Technologies for the Energy Transition integrates engineering, economics, policy, and environmental perspectives for a comprehensive view of how sustainable energy technologies can be effectively deployed across different sectors. It offers insights into energy storage solutions and decarbonisation strategies needed for transitioning both industrial clusters and smaller-scale systems.

Extending across multiple disciplines, the book encompasses mechanical- and chemical-based renewable energy technologies, energy management tools, and governance frameworks for a circular economy. It includes theoretical modelling, case studies, and multicriteria decision-making to emphasise practical solutions tailored to specific regions and industries.

The book will interest energy professionals, researchers, and policymakers working towards achieving a net-zero future.
