Summary

With an emphasis on solar-hydrogen technology, this volume focuses on how to solve the global warming problem. This book explores clean, permanent, and un-exhaustible energy solutions for the future. Each chapter presents one of the new alternative energy processes - including solar, wind, tide, hydrogen, geothermal, and fuel cell - and discusses the consequences of inaction. A special section describes the design of the world's first solar-hydrogen demonstration plant and addresses its significance. In addition, Post-Oil Energy Technology provides in-depth coverage of sensors, analyzers, control valves and final control elements, as well as the optimization of alternative energy processes.
