书目名称 | Environmental Challenges and Greenhouse Gas Control for Fossil Fuel Utilization in the 21st Century | 编辑 | M. Mercedes Maroto-Valer,Chunshan Song,Yee Soong | 视频video | | 图书封面 |  | 描述 | As we are moving ahead into the 21st century, our hunger for cost effective and environmentally friendly energy continues to grow. The Energy Information Administration of US has forecasted that only in the first two decades of the 21st century, our energy demand will increase by 60% compared to the levels at the end of the 20th century. Fossil fuels have been traditionally the major primary energy sources worldwide, and their role is expected to continue growing for the forecasted period, due to their inherent cost competitiveness compared to non-fossil fuel energy sources. However, the current fossil energy scenario is undergoing significant transformations, especially to accommodate increasingly stringent environmental challenges of contaminants like sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides or mercury, while still providing affordable energy. Furthermore, traditional fossil fuel utilization is inherently plagued with greenhouse gas emissions from combustion, especially carbon dioxide from stationary sources as well as from mobile sources. Should worldwide government policies dictate a reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, such as proposed by the Kyoto Protocol and the implementation of | 出版日期 | Book 2002 | 关键词 | Dioxin; Furan; Greenhouse gas; ITC; Weather; combustion; emissions | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4615-0773-4 | isbn_softcover | 978-1-4613-5232-7 | isbn_ebook | 978-1-4615-0773-4 | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media New York 2002 |
