Sustainable Energy Pricing
This is the first book to address the issues of affordable power, sustainable energy, and reduced environmental impact through the science of energy pricing. Looking at the availability of natural resources from an engineering perspective, and determining how they can be priced to achieve sustainability in the energy sector, is the aim of this groundbreaking new work. Most current models used in energy pricing are based on linear analyses. While these models work well for targeted scenarios within a short time frame, they do not provide one with a scientific tool that can include many facets of the information age. The existing models do not include environmental sustainability in an integrated fashion. This is mainly because environmental costs are still considered to be intangible, and intractable with conventional economic analysis tools. Though one existing model acknowledges some possible theoretical truth to concerns expressed about the onset of 'peak oil'—the period in which new oil production must begin a decline of unknown and indefinite duration —this model has little or nothing to say about continuing practices in the extraction and production of fossil fuel that are themselves based on denying any significance or role for such thinking in the immediate future. A serious limitation of that discourse is its insistence on polarizing opinions "for" or "against" environmental sustainability, peak oil, and affordable energy prices. This book proceeds instead to isolate the absence of any agreed criteria for what would constitute inherently sustainable development and examines the main outlines of the history and political economy of energy resource exploration and development since the 1850s from this standpoint. It proposes specific directions in which to take some of the leading alternatives and amendments to current energy pricing practices (as well as some of the most promising energy development alternatives) in order to fulfill the time criteria required for an inherently sustainable trend. The author shows how, and why, identifying unsustainable practices and consequences can make a case for closing down particular oil and gas production operations, while averting the time-wasting approach of trying to fix what really has gone beyond fixing. However, it is possible, necessary, and actually far better to replace these methods with newer, scientifically based methods for achieving overall energy sustainability.
Modeling Practice and Mechanism Design of Green Energy Systems towards Sustainable Development
The sustainable development of energy has become a global concern. The energy system, as an extremely important module for production, conversion, transmission, and supply in the energy industry, is facing pressure from deep decarbonization and green transformation. The application of wind power, photovoltaic, hydrogen energy, power-to-gas (P2G) technology, carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) technology will help the energy system achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. Hydrogen energy will become a bridge for various energy conversion, promoting the high-speed flow of green energy. Therefore, modeling practice and mechanism design for green energy systems will become a key area of academic research. The full utilization and consumption of renewable energy generation (e.g., wind and photovoltaic) still face difficulties and challenges, especially the problem of full consumption. The development and layout of multi-energy complementarity, coupling and interaction, and collaborative integrated energy systems can effectively solve the above problems. Therefore, there is an urgent need to study the mechanism, planning and design, optimized operation, development mode, carbon emission reduction, energy policies, and trading mechanisms of integrated energy systems coupled with renewable energy generation and hydrogen energy, to promote its further development and help achieve a clean and sustainable future. This field will integrate the knowledge and methodology from energy science, power electronics, management science and economics.

Carbon neutral hydrogen technologies play a key-role in preventing climate change and hydrogen is really at the heart of the energy transition. As we can produce heat and power directly from hydrogen in a clean way, we will have many applications in the growing hydrogen economy. This book presents the current state and latest development trends of hydrogen economy with the focus on applications. It gives an overview of the hydrogen utilization as it relates to the transport technology, such as automobiles, heavy-duty vehicles, trains, ships, air, and space transport and industry. Large attention is given to structural and functional materials science, technologies and innovations with focus on the development of new materials and electrolytes for specific applications. Strictly related to mobility is the relation between vehicles and refuel stations, the safety analysis, risk assessment for both infrastructures and transport. Ideal book for students of materials science, chemistry, physics; for researchers and chemical- and mechanical engineers, for industrialists, policymakers, safety agencies and governments.
