Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -The Unpopular Truth about Electricity and the Future of Energy Revised Edition - 2024.Electricity is to modern civilization what blood is to the human body. Understanding how electricity works is more critical than ever as its importance grows with the increasing electrification of transport, industry, and heating.Due to new reports and adjusted information being published, we revised our original book to reflect these updates, enabling us to bring you relevant information. - Lars Schernikau 2024In this new book the authors explain the fundamental reasons for the energy shortages that the world (particularly Europe) started to experience in 2021, and which was exacerbated by Russia's invasion of the Ukraine in 2022. In doing so, the authors describe - in relation to our electricity markets - what could work and what won't.This book is not only an introduction to modern electricity systems and electricity costs, but it also touches on primary energy and transportation. The authors focus more on the generation of electricity from a macroeconomic energy transition point of view and less on the details of how electricity physically works.The environmental efficiency of our energy systems is more complex than CO2-emissions alone. Energy input, material input, lifetime, and recycling efficiency are other key elements discussed in the book. The book concludes with thoughts on the future of energy and suggestions for energy policy, taking into account the new challenges that come with global efforts to decarbonize.Prof. Everett, energy economist, writes: Despite numerous policy initiatives and the expenditure of trillions of dollars on alternatives, fossil fuels remain the dominant source of energy throughout the world, and their use continues to grow in absolute terms. To understand the reasons for this seeming contradiction, Lars and Bill have compiled a complete overview of how the global energy economy actually works, as opposed to the way it is presented in popular media.This is an invaluable reference work that should be on the bookshelf of anyone interested in energy policy, electricity markets, and environmental protection.Topics covered in this book include:Primary energy vs. electricityWind and solar (or what is revered to as variable renewable energy)Capacity factorsInstalled capacity vs. generated electricityHydrogen and batteriesMaterial inputTransmission and distributionHeat pumpsEnergy shortages and more 156 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book is the 2nd edition of the Economics of the International Coal Trade. Coal is the single most important source of power on our planet and today accounts for 40% of electricity generation and 30% of primary energy. The world's appetite for energy is still far from being met. Until 2050, an additional 6+ billion people will require accessto proper power. 'Why Coal Continues to Power the World' introduces the reader to the global coal business; its importance; its source; its global demand, supply and trade; its use; its environmental impact; and its future. Despite recent price hikes, coal does not appear to be a popular subject today, which may explain the little attention it receives in the scientific community. Since writing the first edition during the commodity super cycle in 2006-2008, the world has changed. How has this impacted the global world of coal This book is useful to energy economists, businessmen, politicians, university professors, high school teachers, students and anyone with an interest in how the world is powered. It is also helpful to anyone studying climate change and global warming.This new edition of the book includes previously not covered special sections on:\* Coal analysis and sampling with a special section on moisture\* A technical summary of all key coking coal characteristics in Appendix 2\* Coking coal, iron ore and the steel industry\* Cement and petcoke markets\* Global gas markets and the shale gas revolution in the US\* Nuclear energy and the history of the oil market\* Renewable energy and the German 'Energiewende'\* Power plant technology and CO2 sequestration and processing\* The role of CO2 and why man-made CO2 does not cause global warmingApart from giving an in-depth overview of the globalcoal business, in this book the author argues that coal is far from 'dead'. Some of my key messages are contrary to popular beliefs:The importance of coal will further increase in absolute and likely even in relative terms for decades to come.Man-made CO2 has no effect on global temperatures and combustion of fossil fuels does not influence the weather.We cannot stop the advance of coal, we can only make this process as environmentally sustainable as humanly possible.Therefore, mankind needs to embrace coal as the 'bridge' from the Oil Age to the Solar Age (through the 'New Energy Revolution'). (4) Industrialized nations have to invest in coal and in all means to more efficiently burn coal in order to truly help the global environment and reduce global dust, SOX, and NOX emissions.
