Overview

Sustainable Development of Renewable Energy: Volume 2—Opportunities in Production, Storage, and Integration is the sixth book in the Advances in Renewable Energy Technologies series. Based on the key themes of the International Renewable Energy Congress (IREC), this volume looks at the production performance of renewable energy sources and emerging production processes. Containing all major renewable energy technologies in individual chapters, this reference includes some of the most dynamic developments, good practices, and future concepts in solar energy systems, energy storage, geothermal energy, bioenergy, wind energy, fuel cell, and hydrogen production, as well as in policy and regulation. By reviewing these state-of-the-art advances, considering them with real work application, and analyzing key challenges, this book provides readers with an up-to-date source on renewable energy grid integration and its importance in aiding the energy transition. This is a valuable resource for graduates, researchers, professors, and industry professionals involved in the renewable energy sector, as well as advanced engineering courses dealing with renewable energy, sources, thermal and electrical energy production, and sustainability.

Reviews

Author Information

Dr. Mejdi Jeguirim is a Professor at the University of Haute Alsace (France) in the field of energy, process engineering, and kinetics modeling. He has two main research interests, namely biomass valorization (pyrolysis, gasification, and combustion) and exhaust gas treatment (NOx and soot abatement as well as volatile organic compounds’ elimination). He is a prolific author of journal articles and book chapters and is a member of the editorial board of the following international journals: Energy (Elsevier), Energies (MDPI), Energy for Sustainable Development (Elsevier), Biofuels (Taylor & Francis), International Journal of Green Energy (Taylor & Francis). He has received the French National Research Excellence Award for researchers with a high level of scientific activity for the 2009-2012, 2013-2016, 2017-2020 and 2021-2024 periods. Since 2019, Dr. Jeguirim has been added to the World’s Top 2% Scientists list established by Stanford University in collaboration with Elsevier. For Elsevier, he is also the series editor of the Advances in Renewable Energy Technologies series.
