Geothermal Power Generation: Developments and Innovation: Woodhead Publishing Series in Energy

Editat de Ronald DiPippo, Luis Carlos Gutiérrez-Negrín, Andrew Chiasson
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 11 oct 2024
Geothermal Power Generation, New Developments and Innovations, Second Edition provides an update to the advanced energy technologies that are urgently required to meet the challenges of economic development, climate change mitigation, and energy security. Edited by respected and leading experts in the field, this book provides a comprehensive overview of the major aspects of geothermal power production. Chapters cover resource discovery, resource characterization, energy conversion systems, design, economic considerations, and a range of fascinating and updated case studies from across the world.

Geothermal resources are considered renewable and are currently the only renewable source able to generate baseload electricity while producing very low levels of greenhouse gas emissions, thus playing a key role in future energy needs.

  • Provides readers with a comprehensive and systematic overview of geothermal power generation
  • Presents an update to advanced energy technologies that are urgently required to meet the challenges of economic development, climate change mitigation, and energy security
  • Edited by authorities in the field and contributed to by global experts in their areas
  • Supports sustainability and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs) 7, 9, 11 and 13
