Low Carbon Energy Technologies in Sustainable Energy Systems
Low Carbon Energy Technologies for Sustainable Energy Systems examines, investigates, and integrates current research aimed at operationalizing low carbon technologies within complex transitioning energy economies.Scholarly research has traditionally focused on the technical aspects of exploitation, R&D, operation, infrastructure, and decommissioning, while approaches which can realistically inform their reception and scale-up across real societies and real markets are piecemeal and isolated in separate literatures.Addressing both the technical foundations of each technology together with the sociotechnical ways in which they are spread in markets and societies, this work integrates the technoeconomic assessment of low carbon technologies with direct discussion on legislative and regulatory policies in energy markets.Chapters address issues, such as social acceptance, consumer awareness, environmental valuation systems, and the circular economy, as low carbon technologies expand into energy systems sustainability, sensitivity, and stability.This collective research work is relevant to both researchers and practitioners working in sustainable energy systems.The combination of these features makes it a timely book that is useful and attractive to university students, researchers, academia, and public or private energy policy makers.

Renewable Energy : Power for a Sustainable Future
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.

What is the most efficient way to store energy from renewable energy sources?
The most efficient way to store energy from renewable sources is through battery storage systems. These systems can store excess energy generated from sources like solar or wind power and release it when needed, providing a reliable and consistent energy supply. Battery storage also allows for flexibility in managing energy demand and supply, making it a key component in integrating renewable energy into the grid. Additionally, advancements in battery technology continue to improve efficiency and reduce costs, making it an increasingly viable option for storing renewable energy.

What are non-aromatic carbon-carbon bonds?
Non-aromatic carbon-carbon bonds are simply carbon-carbon bonds that do not participate in aromaticity. Aromaticity refers to a special type of bonding in organic molecules that results in increased stability and unique reactivity. Non-aromatic carbon-carbon bonds can be found in a wide range of organic compounds and can exhibit different types of reactivity and properties depending on their specific chemical environment. These bonds can be found in aliphatic hydrocarbons, such as alkanes and alkenes, as well as in many other organic molecules.

How is the energy content of a carbon compound related to the oxidation state of carbon?
The energy content of a carbon compound is related to the oxidation state of carbon because the oxidation state determines the number of bonds carbon forms with other atoms. In general, carbon compounds with higher oxidation states (such as carbon dioxide) have lower energy content because they are more oxidized and have more stable bonds. On the other hand, carbon compounds with lower oxidation states (such as hydrocarbons) have higher energy content because they are less oxidized and have more potential energy stored in their bonds.

Sustainable Energy in Central Asia : Transition Towards Renewable Energy Sources in Uzbekistan
This book argues that sustainable energy development represents a new frontier for many transitional economies, including those countries that are well endowed with traditional energy resources, as exemplified by the case of Uzbekistan in Central Asia.The book highlights the challenges and issues faced by the energy sector in countries which are undergoing a transition from government-led economic models to open market economies.Using Uzbekistan as a case study, the book demonstrates these challenges, as well as opportunities of being part of an increasingly interconnected global market, to show how governments can ensure inclusive economic growth and build pathways toward sustainable development by deploying renewable energy sources (RES).By applying the Quadruple Bottom Line strategy as a conceptual framework to evaluate social, economic, and environmental benefits and governance as a key dynamic component, the book includes recommendations for implementing a transition strategy to renewable energy consumption for developing countries and offers insights into ways of dealing with government policy in post-Soviet countries. Presenting a holistic approach to promoting RES deployment in Uzbekistan and elsewhere, this book will be of interest to researchers interested in energy transition in developing countries, development economics, Central Asian politics, and the management of natural resources and climate-change issues.

How many carbon atoms are contained in 12g of carbon?
To determine the number of carbon atoms in 12g of carbon, we first need to calculate the number of moles of carbon in 12g. The molar mass of carbon is approximately 12g/mol. Therefore, 12g of carbon is equal to 1 mole of carbon. Since 1 mole of carbon contains Avogadro's number of atoms (6.022 x 10^23), there are 6.022 x 10^23 carbon atoms in 12g of carbon.
