SynopsisEnergy Science successfully integrate social, economic and environmental considerations with an accessible, quantitative approach to energy science. This text introduces the latest energy technologies, explaining the physical principles underlying technology and discussing their environmental, economic, and social impacts. With a focus on the transition from fossil fuels to low-carbon sources of energy, the text enables students to evaluate the key sources of energy available, and introduces potential solutions to the energy problems facing us today. A core text in the field, Energy Science is full of topical case studies and examples using current data to highlight the practical application of relevant theory. Discussion questions throughout the text encourage the development of deep critical thinking skills, ensuring that students are properly equipped to approach the energy challenges that lie ahead., Can climate change be tackled with the current energy technologies and policies available? Are renewable energy sources now economically competitive with fossil fuels? How much power can be provided by all the various forms of low-carbon energy? Energy Science introduces the latest energy technologies, explains the physical principles underlying each technology, and discusses their environmental, economic, and social impacts. Covering fossil fuels, renewables, and nuclear energy, this book provides you with tools to evaluate the key sources of energy available, and introduces potential solutions to the energy problems facing us today. New to this edition: Greater emphasis on the challenges and urgent actions required in the transition from fossil fuels to low-carbon sources of energy, explanations of recent developments in solar PV, off-shore wind, deploying renewables, and battery technology, More international case studies looking at real-world energy issues and applications of energy technology, Increased focus on making the text engaging for a wide range of students, with flexible treatment of the more mathematical content Book jacket., The only book to successfully integrate social, economic and environmental considerations with an accessible, quantitative approach to energy science.Energy Science introduces the latest energy technologies, explaining the physical principles underlying technology and discussing their environmental, economic, and social impacts.
