Encyclopedia of Sustainable Technologies provides an authoritative assessment of the sustainable technologies that are currently available or in development. Sustainable technology includes the scientific understanding, development and application of a wide range of technologies and processes and their environmental implications.
Systems and lifecycle analyses of energy systems, environmental management, agriculture, manufacturing and digital technologies provide a comprehensive method for understanding the full sustainability of processes. In addition, the development of clean processes through green chemistry and engineering techniques are also described.
The book is the first multi-volume reference work to employ both Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) and Triple Bottom Line (TBL) approaches to assessing the wide range of technologies available and their impact upon the world. Both approaches are long established and widely recognized, playing a key role in the organizing principles of this valuable work.
- Provides readers with a one-stop guide to the most current research in the field
- Presents a grounding of the fundamentals of the field of sustainable technologies
- Written by international leaders in the field, offering comprehensive coverage of the field and a consistent, high-quality scientific standard
- Includes the Life Cycle Analysis and Triple Bottom Line approaches to help users understand and assess sustainable technologies
