Sustainable Materials for a Carbon-Neutral Energy Future explores cutting-edge materials that are emerging from advancements in materials science and engineering. These innovative, carbon-neutral materials have enhanced properties that reduce environmental impact, and include, but are not limited to, low-carbon footprint composites, bio-based polymers, and recyclable energy storage solutions. As climate change is one of the most pressing challenges facing humanity, necessitating a swift transition to sustainable energy sources, the development and adoption of carbon-neutrality plays a pivotal role in achieving this transition by reducing greenhouse gas emissions and enabling widespread implementation. This book equips readers on how to leverage these sustainable materials.

The purpose of Sustainable Materials for a Carbon-Neutral Energy Future is to provide a timely and comprehensive resource that explores the potential of carbon-neutral approaches for green energy, addressing the growing demand for knowledge in this rapidly evolving field.
