Sustainable Energy: Towards a Zero-Carbon Economy using Chemistry, Electrochemistry and Catalysis

Sustainable Energy, Towards a Zero-Carbon Economy Using Chemistry,  Electrochemistry and Catalysis provides the reader with a clear outline  of some of the strategies, particularly those based on various chemical  approaches, that have been put forward with the aim of reducing  greenhouse gas emissions in order to achieve “zero carbon" by 2050. The  author describes the chemistry of some of the processes involved, paying  particular attention to those that involve heterogeneous catalytic  steps and electrolysis methods. In cases in which the technology is  already established, details are given of the reactor systems used. He  discusses novel developments in the areas of transport, the production  of essential products using renewable energy and the uses of sustainable  biomass.
