Topical Themes in Energy and Resources: A Cross-Disciplinary Education and Training Program for Environmental Leaders

This book combines issues several critical ones in the energy field (low-energy technologies, renewable energies such as the hydrogen economy, and geothermal energy). Moving towards a more sustainable world requires a complete revolution in the way we manage energy and resources. However, from an...
