商品描述

Transportation is a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. Any long-term plan to reduce, and eventually eliminate, fossil fuel use needs to include a transitioning of transportation energy to low-carbon sustainable sources. This book outlines the current transportation energy requirements and the primary sources of this energy. A detailed analysis of technologies appropriate for road transportation is included, and the application of sustainable technologies to rail, maritime and air transportation is discussed. Finally, a summary of the challenges involved in implementing sustainable transportation technologies and a quantitative analysis of how renewable energy production relates to the development of sustainable transportation are presented. The book is an invaluable reference for undergraduate and postgraduate science and engineering students with an interest in energy, transportation or environmental issues.


Key Features


  • Reviews the energy technologies that may be appropriate for future transportation needs


  • Considers resource and environmental reasons for changing our approach to energy, as well as possible future energy sources and future energy needs


  • Describes the scientific basis and application of all major technologies for road, rail, maritime and air transportation


  • Provides a detailed quantitative analysis of the way in which future transportation energy can be integrated into global sustainable energy production


  • Summarises the challenges involved in implementing sustainable transportation technologies


商品描述(中文翻譯)

交通運輸是溫室氣體排放的主要來源之一。任何長期減少並最終消除化石燃料使用的計劃都需要將交通能源轉向低碳可持續來源。本書概述了當前交通能源需求和主要能源來源。詳細分析了適用於道路交通的技術,並討論了可持續技術在鐵路、海運和航空交通中的應用。最後,本書總結了實施可持續交通技術所面臨的挑戰,並定量分析了可再生能源生產與可持續交通發展的關係。本書對於對能源、交通或環境問題感興趣的本科和研究生科學和工程學生來說是一本寶貴的參考資料。

主要特點:
- 回顧可能適用於未來交通需求的能源技術
