Introduction: What are Unintended Consequences of Renewable Energy and How Can They be Predicted? -- Rebound Effects -- Consequential Life Cycle Environmental Impact Assessment -- Implementation of Hydrogen Gas as a Transport Fuel -- Biodiesel and Its Blending into Fossil Diesel -- Towards the use of Electric Cars -- Solar Cell Production -- Final Discussion and Conclusions.
Energy technologies in the future will need to be based on renewable sources of energy and will, ultimately, need to be sustainable. This book provides insight into unintended, negative impacts and how they can be avoided. In order to steer away from the pitfalls and unintended effects, it is essential that the necessary knowledge is available to the developers and decision makers engaged in renewable energy. The value of this book lies in its presentation of the unintended health and environmental impacts from renewable energies.
