Renewable Energy Sources and Climate Change Mitigation
This Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Special Report (IPCC-SRREN) assesses the potential role of renewable energy in the mitigation of climate change. It covers the six most important renewable energy sources – bioenergy, solar, geothermal, hydropower, ocean and wind energy – as well as their integration into present and future energy systems. It considers the environmental and social consequences associated with the deployment of these technologies and presents strategies to overcome technical as well as non-technical obstacles to their application and diffusion. SRREN brings a broad spectrum of technology-specific experts together with scientists studying energy systems as a whole. Prepared following strict IPCC procedures, it presents an impartial assessment of the current state of knowledge: it is policy relevant but not policy prescriptive. SRREN is an invaluable assessment of the potential role of renewable energy for the mitigation of climate change for policymakers, the private sector and academic researchers.

Blockchain-based peer-to-peer transactions in energy systems
Blockchain is a nascent technology with the potential to disrupt the operational and business models of many industries. The enormous successes recorded by solutions underpinned by blockchain have attracted much attention to it. Beginning from the emergence of Bitcoin in the financial sector, blockchain has continued to impact other industries. It finds application in healthcare, supply chain, energy among other sectors. The technology has emerged as a viable technology for enabling decentralized peer-to-peer transactions. With the high adoption of renewable energy sources, the modern power system has become decentralized thereby paving the way for the integration of blockchain-based solutions. In the energy industry, blockchain can be employed to facilitate decentralised peer-to-peer energy transactions between power grid entities, energy storage sharing among others.

Renewable Hydrogen Technologies - Production, Purification, Storage, Applications and Safety
The fields covered by the hydrogen energy topic have grown rapidly, and now it has become clearly multidisciplinary. In addition to production, hydrogen purification and especially storage are key challenges that could limit the use of hydrogen fuel. In this book, the purification of hydrogen with membrane technology and its storage in \"solid\" form using new hydrides and carbon materials are addressed. Other novelties of this volume include the power conditioning of water electrolyzers, the integration in the electric grid of renewable hydrogen systems and the future role of microreactors and micro-process engineering in hydrogen technology as well as the potential of computational fluid dynamics to hydrogen equipment design and the assessment of safety issues. Finally, and being aware that transportation will likely constitute the first commercial application of hydrogen fuel, two chapters are devoted to the recent advances in hydrogen fuel cells and hydrogen-fueled internal combustion engines for transport vehicles.
