Description
Based on state-of-the-art science and technologies, this book disseminates the latest advancements concerning the relationship between renewable energy and climate change and presents the best practices to further utilize renewable energy for mitigation. It examines issues of climate change from different renewable energy fronts by the respective experts from around the world. While high-level and in-depth technological advancements are judiciously presented, it also discusses different types of renewable energy and the associated technologies in consideration of the various perspectives of economy, availability, and societal implications in different regions.
Features:
Discusses the concept of leapfrogging renewable energy technologies in developing countries for the purpose of minimizing human-induced climate change impacts as rapidly as possible
Includes various options from high technology to sustainable agriculture
Presents and compares the latest novel and emerging potential technologies
Outlines how to advance renewable energy by improving energy storage and optimizing financial incentives and management
Renewable Energy for Mitigating Climate Change enlightens readers from a renewable energy perspective on how to best tackle the challenges of climate change. This is a must-read for senior undergraduate and graduate students in environmental studies, decision- and policymakers, educators, and every environmental steward. The interests of all stakeholders, especially future generations, form the thread connecting all the chapters together into a powerful tool to mitigate global climate change.
