Sustainable Solutions for Modern Economies »
de Rainer HÖFER
Résumé
Limited supplies of fossil fuels and concerns
about global warming have created a strong
desire to solve the resource issue in the
age "beyond petroleum".
This reference
book, from the "Green Chemistry Series",
contains the essential areas of green chemistry
and sustainability in modern economies. It
is the first book to outline the contribution
of chemistry, and of renewable chemical or
biological resources, to the sustainability
concept and to the potential resolution of
the world’s energy problems. It describes
the current status of technical research,
and industrial application, as well as the
potential of biomass as a renewable resource
for energy generation in power stations, as
alternative fuels, and for various uses in
chemistry. It outlines the historical routes
of the sustainability concept and specifies
sustainability in metrics, facts and figures.
The book is written by European experts from academia, industry and investment banking who are world leaders in research and technology regarding sustainability, alternative energies and renewable resources. The sustainability aspects covered include :
- consumer behaviour and demands, lifestyles and mega trends, and their impact on innovation in the industry
- consumer industry requirements and their impact on suppliers
- emerging paradigm changes in raw material demand, availability, sourcing, and logistics
- the contribution of the industry to restore the life support systems of the Earth
- socially responsible banking and investment
- sustainability metrics
It also covers the actual status of biomass usage for green energy generation, green transportation, green chemistry and sustainable nutrition and consumer goods, and it depicts the potentials of green solvents and white biotechnology for modern synthesis and manufacturing technologies.
The book is aimed at technical and marketing people in industry, universities and institutions as well as readers in administrations and NGOs. The book will also be of value to the worldwide public interested in sustainability issues and strategies as well as others interested in the practical means that are being used to reduce the environmental impact of chemical processes and products, to further eco-efficiency, and to advance the utilization of renewable resources.
