Features: Energy and environment are the two major fundamental challenges facing humanity in the 21st century. Developing pollution-free, renewable new energy is the essential path to solving these two issues. With the entry into force of the Kyoto Protocol, large-scale development and utilization of new energy have become a key to sustainable development of human society. New energy, relative to conventional energy, mainly includes solar energy, hydrogen energy, nuclear energy, biomass energy, chemical power sources, wind energy, geothermal energy, and tidal energy, etc. Except for nuclear fission fuel, they are almost inexhaustible. This book systematically introduces the development and application technologies of various new energy sources, including technical principles, process flows, equipment, and development trends. At the same time, it introduces the latest research progress in this field both domestically and internationally. This book can be used as a reference for researchers, technicians, and government management personnel in related disciplines, as well as a textbook for students in energy, metallurgy, chemistry, chemical engineering, materials, environment, and biochemistry.
