Features: This book systematically introduces the utilization principles and engineering application technologies of renewable energy sources such as solar energy, biomass energy, wind energy, marine energy, and geothermal energy, as well as new energy sources like hydrogen energy (fuel cells) and nuclear energy. It also covers the energy resource utilization technology of industrial and domestic waste. The book is divided into six chapters, covering topics such as the current status and development trends of energy consumption in China, solar energy and its utilization technologies, biomass energy and its utilization, hydrogen energy and its utilization—fuel cell technology, other new energy sources and their utilization, and waste resource utilization. The content is detailed and comprehensive. This book is suitable for designers, management personnel, and researchers in fields such as thermal energy and power engineering, environmental engineering, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning, power, construction, chemical engineering, and metallurgy. It can also serve as a selective textbook for senior undergraduate and graduate students majoring in thermal energy engineering, engineering thermophysics, environmental engineering, petrochemical engineering, and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning.
