Best practices for mitigating environmental damage from conventional power generationThis volume of the Wiley Series in Environmentally Conscious Engineering, Environmentally Conscious Fossil Energy Production, seeks to provide new solutions to one of the grand challenges of this century: supplying energy to a growing population while reducing environmental pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. The first five chapters cover extraction and transport of fossil fuels; the last four chapters cover power plants. An international roster of contributors, from the United States, Canada, and the Middle East, deals with the wide variety of challenges posed by converting oil, natural gas, and coal to energy.Chapters include:Environmentally Conscious Petroleum EngineeringCarbon Management and Hydrogen Requirements in Oil SandsEnvironmentally Conscious Coal MiningMaritime Oil Transport and Pollution PreventionAccidental Oil Spills Behavior and ControlGeological Sequestration of Greenhouse GasesClean Coal Technology: Gasification PathwayAn Integrated Approach for Carbon Mitigation in the Electric Power Generation SectorEnergy and Exergy Analyses of Natural Gas Fired Combined Cycle Power Generation SystemsTurn to all of the books in the Wiley Series in Environmentally Conscious Engineering for the most cutting-edge, environmentally friendly engineering practices and technologies.
