Summary
This book explains the challenges related to global energy transition, focusing on decarbonization, renewable technologies, and sustainable mobility. It offers a comprehensive exploration of integrated socio-economic, environmental, and technological perspectives and provides actionable solutions and practical pathways for transitioning to sustainable energy systems. Designed to be used in short academic courses, this textbook is an excellent foundational text for upper-level undergraduate and graduate students in engineering and environmental sciences taking specialized courses in energy systems, renewable technologies, climate change mitigation, and environmental impacts. It is also a great resource for professionals and policy makers involved in energy projects.Features: Offers an interdisciplinary approach to energy transitions combining theoretical frameworks with practical applications. Explores the full spectrum of energy systems, comparing conventional to renewable sources, energy vectors, and energy-storage technologies. Incorporates real-world data from leading institutions and integrates key historical milestones like the Paris Agreement with forward-looking trends. Highlights cutting-edge innovations, including solar and wind energy, hydrogen, energy-storage systems, synthetic fuels, and smart grids, and emphasizes their integration into energy systems and sustainable mobility solutions. Bridges the gap between socio-economic, environmental, and technological perspectives.
