Energy Systems
Author: Nick Jenkins
Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA
ISBN: 0198813929
Category : BUSINESS & ECONOMICS
Languages : en
Pages : 161
Book Description
Modern societies require energy systems to provide energy for cooking, heating, transport, and materials processing, as well as for electricity generation. Energy systems include the primary fuel, its conversion, and transport to the point of use. In many cases this primary fuel is still a fossil fuel, a one-use resource derived from a finite supply within our planet, causing considerable damage to the environment. After 300 years of increasing reliance on fossil fuels, particularly coal, it is becoming ever clearer that the present energy systems need to change. In this Very Short Introduction Nick Jenkins explores our historic investment in the exploitation of fossil energy resources and their current importance, and discusses the implications of our increasing rate of energy use. He considers the widespread acceptance by scientists and policy makers that our energy systems must reduce emissions of CO2 and other greenhouse gases, and looks forward to the radical changes in fuel technology that will be necessary to continue to provide energy supplies in a sustainable manner, and extend access across the developing world. Considering the impact of changing to an environmentally benign and low-carbon energy system, Jenkins also looks at future low-carbon energy systems which would use electricity from a variety of renewable energy sources, as well as the role of nuclear power in our energy use. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.

Petroleum and Coal
Author: Hrishikesh Baruah
Publisher: M.D. Publications Pvt. Ltd.
ISBN: 9788175330429
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 158
Book Description
The aim of the book has been to focus on the origin, occurance, migration (of petroleum, exploration, drilling or mining of the hydrocarbons, and their uses, particularly the petrochemicals. Side by side, an attempt has been made to divert the attention of the people on the fact that it take a lot of painful efforts to extract petroleum and coal. Though it is a fact that the world cannot survive without these two non-renewable resources, it should be seen that the wants are minimized as far as possible.

The Burning Question
Author: Mike Berners-Lee
Publisher: Greystone Books
ISBN: 1771640081
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 215
Book Description
The Burning Question reveals climate change to be the most fascinating scientific, political and social puzzle in history. It shows that carbon emissions are still accelerating upwards, following an exponential curve that goes back centuries. One reason is that saving energy is like squeezing a balloon: reductions in one place lead to increases elsewhere. Another reason is that clean energy sources don't in themselves slow the rate of fossil fuel extraction. Tackling global warming will mean persuading the world to abandon oil, coal and gas reserves worth many trillions of dollars — at least until we have the means to put carbon back in the ground. The burning question is whether that can be done. What mix of politics, psychology, economics and technology might be required? Are the energy companies massively overvalued, and how will carbon-cuts affect the global economy? Will we wake up to the threat in time? And who can do what to make it all happen? Published in Partnership with the David Suzuki Institute.
