It offers a balanced perspective on sustainability, emissions, and cost implications, supported by online resources including quizzes and updated energy data. Perfect for professionals and students eager to understand and influence the global shift to low-carbon power. ## Description The provision of sustainable energy supplies for an expanding and increasingly productive world is one of the major issues facing civilisation today. Renewable Energy examines both the practical and economic potential of the renewable energy sources to meet this challenge. The underlying physical and technological principles behind deriving power from direct solar (solar thermal and photovoltaics), indirect solar (biomass, hydro, wind and wave) and non-solar (tidal and geothermal) energy sources are explained, within the context of their environmental impacts, their economics and their future prospects. Renewable Energy provides both perspective and detail on the relative merits and state of progress of technologies for utilizing the various 'renewables'. The analysis considers emissions, sustainability, cost implications and energy security, as political and economic pressures move society towards a low-carbon future. From an overview of basic energy conversion processes, through a discussion of the individual renewable sources, to a concluding examination of the prospects for their integration into national and international networks and the outlook for renewable energy, this book provides a valuable insight into prospects for the renewables. Online resources Renewable Energy is accompanied by online resources which include: For students: · Auto- marked multiple choice questions to accompany each chapter · Curated links to further information and up-to-date energy statistics.

Review: Good starting point - Really useful textbook for a basic outline of the renewable technologies out there with interesting examples given throughout the book which can be further looked into. Despite this being an older edition (2004), the information was still pretty relevant and applicable. ## Features - New Store Stock ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 714,246 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 126 in Alternative Energy 146 in Energy 159 in Energy Engineering | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 103 Reviews | ## Images ![Renewable Energy: Power for a Sustainable Future - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71weJxukYML.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice book *by J***A on 8 March 2024* Interesting read. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good starting point *by R***H on 19 July 2018* Really useful textbook for a basic outline of the renewable technologies out there with interesting examples given throughout the book which can be further looked into. Despite this being an older edition (2004), the information was still pretty relevant and applicable. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good solid book - a valuable guide. *by A***E on 16 February 2010* One of my favourite books on renewable energy. A thorough account of every renewable energy form out there, is uses, its benefits and its draw backs. WEll reserached, well written, if anything a little too technical for me in some places but i am a relative newcomer to the subject. Everything is well illustrated and explained. A very valuable resource to have on your desk. Besides being a bit technical for me in some cases, it is now a little old (2004 i think) and the renewable enery industry is changing all the time. If a new version came out i would buy it again. Immediately. ## Frequently Bought Together - Renewable Energy: Power for a Sustainable Future - Industrial Mechanics - Print Reading for Industry --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/51308770-renewable-energy-power-for-a-sustainable-future](https://www.desertcart.be/products/51308770-renewable-energy-power-for-a-sustainable-future) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-10-30*
