Reihe: Sustainability: Contributions through Science and Technology

As the world struggles with sustainable practices and policies regarding environmental protection, green sustainable energy is a key player. The chemistries involving energy production must be efficient, but also must evolve and change to meet new restrictions and footprint guidelines. Rather than only being seen as a necessary evil, energy through GSE must become a key piece in the sustainability puzzle. The green sustainable energies presented in this book will demonstrate that progress in science can and should be leading contributors in discussions on environmental science and chemistry.

· Explains the necessary role of chemistry in the sustainability of the world in the 21st century

· Recognizes past practices and future potential, guided by global demand and the four drivers: economic, scientific, regulatory and environmental

· Presents a much needed multi-dimensional approach to the subject

· Demonstrates that green sustainable chemistries can and should be leading contributors in discussion on environmental science and chemistry

· Highlights new products, processes, applications and developments in green chemistry, which demonstrates how sustainability is adapting in the new age

Über Autor(innen)

Dr William Nelson is an organic chemist, and has been involved with Green Chemistry since 1995. Growing up within a military family, he has been able to see many parts of the world, which heightened his commitment to preserving the natural environment and promoting sustainability through chemistry. He earned a doctorate in organic chemistry from The Johns Hopkins University, during which time he studied the synthesis and photobiology of analogs of the environmental carcinogen benzo[a]pyrene. Bill has worked in industry as a research chemist, in government (both Illinois,US EPA, and the US Army Corps of Engineers) in environmental protection and pollution prevention, and in education (teaching and directing research.) He currently is a Senior Research Physical Scientist doing contract work for US government involving organic synthesis and photochemistry.
