Generating Electricity in a Carbon-Constrained World

The electric power is in the future. The electric power is in the future. Now with growing uncertainty about global climate change, this historical dependence on fossil fuels, especially those in carbon, are being questioned. Examining the implications of the future in a carbon-constrained world, a reality, is the subject of this book.

Containing contributions from renowned scholars and academics from around the world, this book explores the companies in a carbon-constrained world. Three The three The Clean The Clean The Clean The Clean The Clean The Clean The Clean The Clean The Clean The Clean The Clean The. Coal, and Emission trading. Renewable energy options such as Nuclear Energy, Wind power, Solar power, Hydro-electric, and Geothermal energy are clearly explained along with their trade-offs and uncertainties in the ability of assessing policy solutions.

This is followed by self-contained chapters of case-studies from all over the world. The discussion of the World of CO2 Emissions and Energy efficiency.
