Clean Energy Research

This book provides readers with the latest developments and innovations in clean energy resources and systems, energy economics, and energy policies. Designed to help move towards a cleaner, more sustainable energy landscape, it offers theoretical insights, practical knowledge, and case studies on clean energy technology. It covers sustainable methods for increasing energy efficiency and examines current concepts and solutions to global energy storage and energy-saving issues, including wind energy technology and offshore potential, advanced solar energy systems and case studies, hydrogen production, storage, and material challenges, carbon capture, storage, and resource utilization, bioenergy and sustainable fuel innovations, energy system optimization, and thermal management.

Clean Energy Research: Now and in the Future is an essential guide to up-to-date research results for scientists, practitioners, engineers, students, and researchers.

Presents recent research on clean energy systems Discusses the latest clean energy technologies and applications Includes case studies

Autorentext

Dr. Lin Chen ***is a full professor and director of the Heat and Mass Transfer Research Center at the Institute of Engineering Thermophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and jointly at the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, China. Before that, he was a JST-CREST and JSPS research fellow and an assistant professor at Tohoku University, Japan. His research interests include energy resources, supercritical fluids, soil remediation, and advanced measurement technologies, and recently, he has focused on CO2-based energy systems and utilization processes. Dr. Chen received his B.E. and Ph.D. in Mechanics (Energy and Resources Engineering) from Peking University. He has authored over 300 well-cited international journal papers and conference presentations, 21 patents, nine book chapters, and four books, including the most famous one Handbook of Research on Advancements in Supercritical Fluids Applications for Sustainable Energy Systems (2021). He was winner of the 2018 AUTSE Young Scientist Award and the Paper Award of the Visualization Society of Japan (2022) for his contribution in supercritical fluid fundamental studies and measurement techniques of fluid dynamics under extreme conditions. He is currently a board member of the Experts Commission of the China Energy Society, an associate editor of the ASME Journal of Nuclear Engineering and Radiation Science, and an editorial board member of the Journal of Supercritical Fluids*.
