Energy from Waste: Production and Storage

by Ram K. Gupta, Tuan Anh Nguyen

Conversion  of waste into value-added products such as energy transforms a  potential environmental problem into a sustainable solution. Energy from Waste: Production and Storage focuses  on the conversion of waste from various sources for use in energy  production and storage applications. It provides the state-of-the-art in  developing advanced materials and chemicals for energy applications  using wastes and discusses the various treatment processes and  technologies. 

• Covers synthesis of usable materials from various types of waste and their application in energy production and storage 
• Presents an overview and applications of wastes for green energy production and storage 
• Provides  fundamentals of electrochemical behavior and understanding of energy  devices such as fuel cells, batteries, supercapacitors, and solar cells 
• Elaborates on advanced technologies used to convert waste into green biochemical energy 

This  work provides new direction to scientists, researchers, and students in  materials and chemical engineering and related subjects seeking to  sustainable solutions to energy production and waste management.
