This edited volume explores the world of clean energy, diving into technological innovations and advancements. This book discusses the complexities of our energy landscape, providing comprehensive insights into renewable technologies and their environmental impacts.

The need for renewable energy stems from various environmental, economic, and social concerns. The renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, hydro, and geothermal power offer sustainable alternatives to finite fossil fuels. They reduce greenhouse gas emissions, mitigate climate change, enhance energy security by diversifying the energy mix, and diminish dependence on imported fuels, thus decreasing geopolitical risks. Transitioning to clean energy production technologies also reduces air and water pollution, which is crucial for a sustainable future, ensuring environmental protection, economic prosperity, and social equity for present and future generations. Some of the key topics covered are solar energy utilization; efficiency and life cycle analysis of solar panels; nature-based energy generation; sustainability through biomass and biogas; nuclear energy; geothermal energy, among others.

This book is an engaging read for students, academics, researchers, policymakers, and climate enthusiasts, offering valuable information to assist us in making informed decisions for a cleaner, greener future.

Presents a comprehensive study of the innovations in clean energy technologies Collates leading expertise from diverse scientific and engineering communities Provides quick and accessible knowledge to students, academics and professionals
