Avoiding carbon apocalypse through alternative energylife after fossil fuels /[electronic resource] :by John Lowry. - Cham :Springer International Publishing :2017. - ix, 150 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm.

Introduction -- Energy Produced and Carbon Released From Fossil Fuels and Amount of Alternative Energy Required to Replace This -- Electrical Super Grids -- Alternative, Sustainable an Nuclear Energy -- Hydrogen and Other Synthesized Fuels -- Energy Storage -- Economics -- Land Transport Without Fossil Fuels -- Air and Sea Transport Without Fossil Fuels -- Do We Have the Resources? -- Energising the World From Non-Fossil Fuel Sources -- Final Infrastructure -- Avoiding Carbon Apocalypse -- Appendix.

This important book lays bare the dangers of global warming caused by carbon dioxide emissions stemming from fossil fuel use, and proposes pathways toward mitigation. A discussion of the current main uses of fossil fuels acts as a basis for presenting viable, economically sound alternatives. The author outlines a clear, practical strategy for establishing a carbon-free future by deploying proven policy structures and technologies that are already commercially available.
