Green Energy and Technology
Climate change, environmental impact and the limited natural resources urge
scientific research and novel technical solutions. The monograph series Green
Energy and Technology serves as a publishing platform for scientific and
technological approaches to “green”—i.e. environmentally friendly and
sustainable—technologies. While a focus lies on energy and power supply, it also
covers "green" solutions in industrial engineering and engineering design. Green
Energy and Technology addresses researchers, advanced students, technical
consultants as well as decision makers in industries and politics. Hence, the level of
presentation spans from instructional to highly technical.
