Riassunto
Examining modular approaches for recovery and conversion of energy and fuel, this book illustrates the importance of offering a balance of centralized and distributed energy operations made up of small- and large-scale systems. Coal, oil, natural gas, hydrogen, biomass, waste, nuclear, geothermal solar, wind, and hydroenergy are examined.
