摘要
One of the greatest challenges facing the global society of today and tomorrow involves the production of adequate, clean, sustainable energy for all people. It is clear that new technologies are required, nevertheless adequate energy can be provided by intelligent use of solar, geothermal and solid carbon fuels. The needed new technologies require integration of knowledge and expertise from science, engineering, and economics. New technologies are also needed for the management and use of wastes involved in energy production, including greenhouse gases. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
