Fereidoon Perry Sioshansi, "Generating Electricity in a Carbon-Constrained World"
Elsevier Science Ltd | 2009 | ISBN: 185617655X | 664 pages | PDF | 6,3 MB
The electricity sector is what makes up modern economies, and historically, fossil fuels generate most of the energy needed to generate electricity with coal a key player in many parts of the world. Now, with growing concerns about global climate change, the historical dependence on fossil fuels, especially those rich in carbon, are being questioned. Examine the implications of the industry? S future in a carbon-constrained world, a different reality, is the subject of this book.
It contains contributions from renowned scholars and academics from around the world, this book explores the various options available for energy production companies power in a carbon limited world. The three treatments part begins with a clear and rigorous short-term options, including clean coal and carbon capture and sequestration technology and coal, and emissions trading. Renewable energy options such as nuclear, wind, solar, hydroelectric, and geothermal energy are clearly explained along with their tradeoffs and uncertainties inherent in the evaluation and selection of power options, and provides a framework to evaluate policy solutions .
This is followed by self-contained chapters of case studies from around the world. Other topics discussed in the book are creating markets for tradable permits in the coming era of carbon, Global Action on Climate Change, the inability to stanch global CO2 emissions and energy efficiency.
Clearly explain short-term and long-term options
