In The Next Industrial Revolution, Vincent Petit builds on his earlier work, The Age of Fire Is Over (2021), where he explored how key transformations in consumption patterns impact our energy system in ways that have been seldom envisioned. He further develops this work here, and traces how these transformations apply to our modern industrial system, the bedrock of our global economic development and wealth creation.Petit argues that the world is on the cusp of the next centennial transformation of our industrial system, driven by major technological enhancements, considerable opportunities for productivity step changes, but also significant resiliency and environmental challenges.Through a deep and unique exploration of the innovation landscape and global context in each major sector of industry, the author sheds light on the key changes that will transform not only every sector of activity, but also the way they interact with one another to produce nothing short of a complete redesign of our industrial system.The way such transformation will unfold will, however, depend on the complex entanglement of technological progress, policy, business transformations and cultural evolutions. Through different scenarios, the author highlights some of the key decisions that need to be made today, in order to make the most of this opportunity.

Current has become currency. This is the story of electricity--the commodity that determines which nations rise and which fall or remain mired in poverty, and powers us physically and politically.

This book explores the many dimensions of water quality problems in different parts of the globe, with focus on problems of governance, from legal frameworks to social discourses and compensation measures. The chapters in this book were originally published in Water International.

In this update of the original Scour Manual the reader is presented with not only the latest knowledge, but also with some new specific case studies to help the designer with applying the formulas and to show the limitations and the concept of scour by the flow of water.

This new volume presents informative research on the different aspects of employing nanotechnology for environmental pollution decontamination, highlighting the main tools, methods, and approaches for contaminants detection and remediation.The book takes a biotechnological point of view that considers the main environmental pollutants; the safety and economic aspects of nanoremediation, nanosensors and nanobiosensors for the detection of pollutants; and strategies to promote nanoremediation and nanobioremediation. The chapters offer a comprehensive overview of nanotechnologic strategies as essential tools to restore polluted environments and to make more feasible and harmonic the pathway to sustainable development. The volume also discusses the use of sensors to detect pollutants and to monitor the quality of environmental restoration.Topics include nanozymes; organic and inorganic pollutants threatening human health; different types of carbon-based and non-carbon-based nanomaterials in nanosensors and nanobiosensors to detect environmental pollution; nanomaterials that specifically deal with water, soil, or air pollution; and assisted nanoremediation promoted by plants (nanophytoremediation) or microorganisms (for example, mycorrhizal fungus) that promote in situ nano-phyto-mycorrhizo-remediation. Also addressed are aspects related to a macroperspective of nanoremediation that highlight the economic aspects related to nanotechnology, the safety aspects of the use of nanomaterials, and the sustainability aspects related to the use of nanomaterials in strategies of environmental restoration.Nanotechnology for Environmental Pollution Decontamination: Tools, Methods, and Approaches for Detection and Remediation offers extensive and comprehensive knowledge on nanotechnology applied to pollution detection and remediation, assisted or not by biological strategies.

Focusing on surface and groundwater and sustainable solutions, this book highlights recent trends in the water sector that employ innovative management and conservation approaches in conjunction with climatic uncertainty, using hydrometeorological data sets and hydrological modeling.

A celebrated international bestseller that exposes the ticking time-bomb underneath our new technological order.The resources race is on. Powering our digital lives and green technologies are some of the Earth's most precious metals - but they are running out. And what will happen when they do? The green-tech revolution will reduce our reliance on nuclear power, coal, and oil, but by breaking free of fossil fuels, we are setting ourselves up for a new dependence - on rare metals like cobalt, gold, and palladium. These are essential to electric vehicles, wind turbines, and solar panels, as well as our smartphones, computers, tablets, and other technologies. But we know very little about how rare metals are mined and traded, or their environmental, economic, and geopolitical costs - until now.

Transportation is a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. This book provides a comprehensive overview of sustainable low-carbon technologies for road, rail, marine and air transportation.

This research and reference text presents the fundamentals of the engineering of District Heating and Cooling, a system for that has received an increasing amount of investment and has the potential to contribute significantly to the mitigation of climate change

Der Bergbau ist eine kapitalintensive Branche mit langen Vorlaufzeiten für die Entwicklung von Projekten, die einen strukturierten Ansatz von der Minenexploration bis zur Stilllegung erfordern. Dieses Buch bietet Minenentwicklern, Investoren, Eigentümern, Aktionären und politischen Entscheidungsträgern einen umfassenden Plan zur Kapitalbeschaffung für die Entwicklung neuer Bergbauprojekte oder zur Unterstützung laufender Minen.Der Autor, ein erfahrener Berater für Bergbaukapital, zeigt, wie Minenentwickler und Minenbesitzer in jeder Phase des Rohstoffpreiszyklus, an jedem Standort und in jeder Projektphase Kapital beschaffen können. Das Buch folgt einem bewährten und strukturierten Ansatz, der es Minenentwicklern und -besitzern ermöglicht, erfolgreich Kapital für ihre Projekte zu beschaffen. Anhand von Fallstudien und praktischen Methoden lernt der Leser das Wesentliche zu Themen wie der Entwicklung und Vermarktung eines Business Case für Investitionen, den Arten und Quellen vonBergbaukapital für verschiedene Projektphasen sowie der Struktur und Bedeutung der Due Diligence. Der Autor stellt aktuelle Bergbauprojekte und deren Finanzierungspläne, Transaktionsstrukturen und Term Sheets für Kapital vor. Die besprochenen Bergbauprojekte repräsentieren verschiedene Projektstadien, Rohstoffe und Teile der Welt und bieten ein umfassendes Nachschlagewerk für Minenentwickler, Investoren und Projektträger gleichermaßen.
