Hydrogen production has gained increasing attention as a potential energy carrier, which can utilize many forms of renewable energy, such as biomass, wind and direct solar power. It has increased its significance as fossil fuels are being used up at a high rate and energy security is of greater importance to the United States and many other countries. Furthermore, hydrogen production offers the...

In this study, the hydrothermal treatment of municipal solid wastes (MSWs) for the production of biochar as a renewable solid fuel was investigated. The properties of surrogate MSWs and mixtures of newspaper and vegetables were greatly improved by hydrothermal treatment and were similar to those of coal-like fuel substances. Hydrothermal treatment increased the calorific value, the fixed carbon...

By increasing the extraction of natural gas, its role in the restructured power systems is being expanded, due to its lower pollution. Iran has the second largest reserves of natural gas in the world and exports it to different countries. This paper represents long run analysis of natural gas export from Iran to Turkey as a case study, considering direct transfer and exporting via the power mar...

With the increasing population and standard of living, energy demand is increasing. But non-renewable resources are decreasing with for energy. So, we should focus on renewable resources. According to report REN21 in 2019, 73.8%of electricity generated from resources, only 26.2%of where 15.8% Hydropower, 5.5% Wind Power, 2.4% solar PV (Photovoltaics), 2.2% Bio-power 0.4% Geothermal, CSP Ocean p...

Recent estimates and forecasts of the oil, gas, coal resources and their reserve/production ratio, nuclear and renewable energy potential, and energy uses are surveyed. The impact of the rapidly growing economies of the highly populated countries, as well as of the concern about global warming, are presented and assessed. A brief discussion of the status and prospects of fossil, nuclear and ren...

increasing of energy demand and decreasing of water resources, could make the future energy production as a big challenge. climate change is one of the main reasons for water resources limitation. future precipitation and air temperature, change hydrological conditions and directly effect on the hydropower production. for showing the future condition and making it possible to manage the hydropo...

In the present book under review, the reader will have an opportunity to study and understand Australia’s different energy sectors. The reader will update him/herself with the technical, environmental, and economical aspects of energy production. The book’s novelty is in its discussion of the sustainability of different energy sources, ranging from non-renewable to renewable energy sources. The...
