Описание: Developing countries are searching for alternative energy options to promote sustainable and equitable development. This study analyzes the current sources, usage and environmental impact of biomass energy in India. Case studies of successful bioenergy projects are presented.
Описание: This unique volume on wind energy features contributions from the world`s leading research and development pioneers in the field of renewable energy.
Описание: The book addresses the vital and interwoven areas of energy, environment, and the economy within the field of sustainability research. Issues such as energy security, depleting fossil fuel reserves, global warming and climate change, as well as novel energy technologies are covered.
Описание: The rise in population and the concurrently growing consumption rate necessitates the evolution of agriculture to adopt current computational technologies to increase production at a faster and smoother scale. While existing technologies may help in crop processing, there is a need for studies that seek to understand how modern approaches like artificial intelligence, fuzzy logic, and hybrid algorithms can aid the agricultural process while utilizing energy sources efficiently.
The Handbook of Research on Smart Computing for Renewable Energy and Agro-Engineering is an essential publication that examines the benefits and barriers of implementing computational models to agricultural production and energy sources as well as how these models can produce more cost-effective and sustainable solutions. Featuring coverage on a wide range of topics such as bacterial foraging, swarm intelligence, and combinatorial optimization, this book is ideally designed for agricultural engineers, farmers, municipal union leaders, computer scientists, information technologists, sustainable developers, managers, environmentalists, industry professionals, academicians, researchers, and students.

Описание: This book provides novel and critical perspectives on the drivers and consequences of energy-related injustices in the home, offering fresh and innovative insights into the ways in which hitherto unexplored factors such as cultural norms, environmental conditions and household needs combine to shape vulnerability to energy poverty.
Описание: Presents research that explores existing and future buildings from the energy performance point of view, and defines their interaction with the surrounding environment and the indoor environment from a human wellbeing perspective. The book examines a wide range of topics, including performance indicators, energy balance, and sustainability.
Описание: Buildings represent one of the main interfaces of mankind in relation to the environment. Consequently, special attention is directed towards the indoor environmental quality in order to ensure comfortable living conditions. In respect to the outdoor quality, attention must be directed towards minimizing the environmental impact of the buildings. The balance thus established must be a performing and sustainable one.
Energetics Perspective on the Environmental and Human Impact of Buildings is a collection of innovative research that explores existing and future buildings from the energy performance point of view and defines their interaction with the surrounding environment and the indoor environment from a human wellbeing perspective. The interaction between buildings and the environment is defined, modeled, and quantified through the buildings' environmental impact with all aspects implied as well as by the ways of harnessing natural resources within buildings. The indoor environment is defined, modeled, analyzed, and quantified from the perspective of the buildings' occupants' wellbeing. Examining a wide range of topics including performance indicators, energy balance, and sustainability, this book realizes the state-of-the-art regarding buildings' energy performances, but also identifies limitations and future energy perspectives.

"Low-carbon Energy Security from a European Perspective" draws on the European Commission s funded project MILESECURE-2050 project. It considers low-carbon energy security and energy geopolitics in Europe, with a focus on four thematic clusters:
Challenging the energy security paradigm Climate change and energy security objectives (the components of a secure and low-carbon energy system) Energy security in a geopolitical perspective, as it relates to economics, resource competition, and availability The influence of large scale renewable energy projects on energy security and shift geopolitical alliances
An overarching narrative is that optimizing the energy system simultaneously across different objectives may be impossible (i.e., lowest cost, least environmental impact, minimal downtime, regional supply).
This book explores these charged topics through insights from a series of novel, new energy project case studies demonstrates the need for difficult political conversations, within Europe and beyond, by posing fundamental, yet new questions about the energy security paradigm. Offers a unique perspective on low-carbon energy security by considering the assumptions behind current energy security needs Suggests the benefit of envisioning energy security through out-of-the-box scenario development in respect to the energy system. Includes energy in an International Scenario with case studies from Africa, Russia, Ukraine, Morroco, China, Souith America and Europe."
It's the barrier holding women back from breaking through to the highest echelons of corporate America. A few women are promoted to those power seats, but the realm of leadership in America's top companies remains mostly male--and mostly white.
If striving for success in that reality weren't daunting enough, some women face an additional barrier: the black ceiling.
That's the barricade blocking African Americans from ascending into the top levels of corporate leadership.
Black women who aspire to become senior executives or CEOs face the double obstacle of the glass and the black ceilings, especially in certain industries where the statistics for female and black representation are discouraging.
Think about how difficult and disheartening it might seem as a black woman aspiring to excel and transcend to a corporate leadership position through the glass ceiling and the black ceiling in the historically white male energy industry.
We are five African American female executives who have achieved all of the above.
And by sharing our stories in this book, our objective is to offer our lives and our careers as inspirational blueprints for other women and people of color who aspire to leadership positions in the corporate arena.
We have blazed new trails in the energy industry by shattering ceilings. However, much work remains. The low representation of women and people of color at the helm of corporate leadership requires a strong commitment to persevering past the many obstacles that can delay and derail a career.
That is why we convened on the pages of this book to show that, Yes, it can be done We show it through: our own personal belief systems; networking with other women and people of color in our industry; receiving guidance from mentors; committing long hours to our jobs; relocating when opportunity knocked; pursuing our education and training to propel us on an upward trajectory in our field; and celebrating the successes as they come.
Very importantly, we have demonstrated a commitment throughout our careers--and now into retirement for some of us--to reaching back to mentor others so they can follow the paths that we have blazed into uncharted territory for women and people of color in corporate America.
We hope that by reading The Energy Within Us: An Illuminating Perspective from Five Trailblazers, you will be inspired and informed about how to succeed in business and in life.
