Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The Carbon Footprint of our Primary Energy Sources supplies readers with a comprehensive, accessible analysis of the carbon footprints of a range of primary energy sources including crude oil, natural gas, coal, solar energy, wind energy, geothermal energy, hydroelectric energy and nuclear energy, and biofuels, and their carbon footprints, employing a full lifecycle assessment (LCA) of each primary energy source. It furnishes both the foundation and a tool for estimating carbon footprints for a range of energy systems. The work culminates in a cost-benefit analysis of these primary energy sources.With the significant uptick of global investment in alternative energies and the global focus on reducing emissions, this text delivers an important foundational overview/understanding of these systems, and an opportunity for teachers and readers to apply learnings to their own energy consumption choices.
