The future of energy use / Phil O'Keefe, Geoff O'Brien, and Nicola Pearsall. - 2nd ed. - London ; Washington, DC : Earthscan, 2010. - xx, 276 p. : ill., maps ; 26 cm.
Rev. ed. of: The future of energy use / Robert Hill, Phil O'Keefe, and Colin Snape, 1995.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
The Changing Energy Landscape -- Cost of Energy and Scenario Planning -- Energy and Development Planning -- Efficiency of End-Use -- Conventional Fuels -- Nuclear Energy -- Renewable Energy Resources -- Energy Futures.
Provides essential analysis of the use of different forms of energy and their environmental and social impacts. Examines conventional, nuclear and renewable sources and technologies, using relevant case studies and providing a vital link between technology and related policy issues. Focus is on climate change policy and energy security; including a discussion of the long run marginal costs of oil; coverage of the biofuels debate in both the developed and developing worlds; an outline of developments in the built environment (including transport issues); and the relationship between behaviour and energy use. It reviews policy shifts with relation to energy efficiency, carbon capture and storage, combined heat and power, and combined cycle gas turbines. Also coverage of nuclear waste, storage and proliferation, and material on microgeneration and biofuels, as well as essential information on carbon markets and the hydrogen economy.
