Environmental Assessment of Renewable Energy Conversion Technologies

Environmental Assessment of Renewable Energy Conversion Technologies  provides state-of-the-art coverage in both non-fossil energy conversion  and storage techniques, as well as in their environmental assessment.  This includes goal and scope, analysis boundaries,  inventory and the  impact assessment employed for the evaluation of these applications, as  well as the environmental footprint of the technologies. The book  compiles information currently available only in different sources  concerning the environmental assessment of sustainable energy  technologies, allowing for the comparative assessments of different  technologies given specific boundary conditions, such as renewable  potential and other specific features of discussed technologies.

It  offers readers a comprehensive overview of the entire energy supply  chain, namely from production to storage, by allowing the consideration  of different production and storage combinations, based on their  environmental assessment.
