Summary

"Our energy systems--the primary fuel, its conversion, and transport to the point of use--are fundamental to modern life. In many cases the primary fuel is still of fossil origin, but as we increasingly understand the environmental impact of such fuels it is becoming ever clearer that the present energy systems need to change. Here, Nick Jenkins explores our historical investment in fossil energy resources and their current importance. Looking forward to the radical changes we need in fuel technology to achieve sustainability in energy resources and mitigate climate change, Jenkins discusses future low-carbon energy systems drawing on a variety of renewable energy sources."--Page 2 of cover
