Features: To achieve the goal of "sustainable development," energy utilization must focus on both increasing supply and conserving resources, while also preventing environmental pollution during energy use. The concept of "increasing supply" refers to the development of various pollution-free, renewable energy sources such as solar energy, geothermal energy, hydropower, wind energy, ocean energy, and nuclear fusion energy. The concept of "conserving resources" involves adopting various energy-saving measures to reduce energy consumption. To prevent environmental pollution from energy use, in addition to developing pollution-free new energy sources, various purification technologies must also be applied when using existing fossil fuels like oil, coal, and natural gas to minimize their impact on the atmosphere.
The 21st century is the era of transition for human society from the post-industrial society to the knowledge-based economy. In terms of the energy sector, the 21st century is a period of structural transformation from dependence on fossil fuels to renewable, pollution-free new energy sources. "Science and technology are productive forces, but for science and technology to fulfill its role as productive forces, in addition to the efforts and contributions of scientists and engineers, it requires the recognition and support of the general public. To this end, as a volume in the "How It Works" series, this book compiles over a hundred new technologies and developments in the energy sector, providing a selective introduction to the direction and progress of the energy structure transformation.
