Energy Resources

This book outlines the development of renewable energies in the Middle East and North Africa, it offers up-to-date information about their variability, availability and utilization, and serves as a guide for understanding the MENA renewable energy potential. Readers will find an authoritative discussion about the implementation of renewable energies, trends and forecast of solar, wind and geothermal systems applications in this region. Case studies from China, Mexico and Vietnam are also included in this book to foster the implementation of renewable energies in the MENA region.

This book provides the recent advanced research results of environmental engineering and energy resources, covering the main multidisciplinary research on waste treatment and recycling, ecological environment protection, energy strategy management, etc. The exploitation and extensive utilization of energy and resources result in negative impacts on the environment. Therefore, the use of energy and resources efficiently and eco-friendly has become an urgent research direction in environmental engineering. This book aims to promote scientific information exchange between scholars from universities, research centers, and high-tech enterprises around the world, which is beneficial to researchers and practitioners in the field of environmental engineering.

Energy is, without a doubt, the very foundation of the universe. It’s the engine that powers life and fuels the evolution of human civilization.

New and Renewable energy resources:- advantages and drawbacks, different forms, applications, examples, availability

The Earth has limited material and energy resources. Further development of the humanity will require going beyond our planet for mining and use of extraterrestrial mineral resources and search of power sources. The exploitation of the natural resources of the Moon is a first natural step on this direction. Lunar materials may contribute to the betterment of conditions of people on Earth but they also may be used to establish permanent settlements on the Moon. This will allow developing new technologies, systems and flight operation techniques to continue space exploration.
