The world energy crisis cannot be addressed with one unique solution; it is widely recognized that we must develop a variety of systems and technologies in parallel, developing a range of strategies for the clean and sustainable generation of energy, whilst also taking care to consider the environmental, social and economic impacts.

The Handbook of Clean Energy Systems consolidates a wealth of information from this interdisciplinary research field in a single online reference work. With an international team of renowned editors, advisory board members, and contributors from academia and industry, the Handbook presents a comprehensive overview of the latest developments and practical applications in clean energy research across six themed volumes:

Volume 1 - Renewable Energy: Biomass resources and biofuel production; Bioenergy Utilization; Solar Energy; Wind Energy; Geothermal Energy; Tidal Energy.

Volume 2 - Clean Energy Conversion Technologies: Steam/Vapor Power Generation; Gas Turbines Power Generation; Reciprocating Engines; Fuel Cells; Cogeneration and Polygeneration.

Volume 3 - Mitigation Technologies: Carbon Capture; Negative Emissions System; Carbon Transportation; Carbon Storage; Emission Mitigation Technologies; Efficiency Improvements and Waste Management; Waste to Energy.

Volume 4 - Intelligent Energy Systems: Future Electricity Markets; Diagnostic and Control of Energy Systems; New Electric Transmission Systems; Smart Grid and Modern Electrical Systems; Energy Efficiency of Municipal Energy Systems; Energy Efficiency of Industrial Energy Systems; Consumer Behaviors; Load Control and Management; Electric Car and Hybrid Car; Energy Efficiency Improvement.

Volume 5 - Energy Storage: Thermal Energy Storage; Chemical Storage; Mechanical Storage; Electrochemical Storage; Integrated Storage Systems.

Volume 6 - Sustainability of Energy Systems: Sustainability Indicators, Evaluation Criteria, and Reporting; Regulation and Policy; Finance and Investment; Emission Trading; Modeling and Analysis of Energy Systems; Energy vs. Development; Low Carbon Economy; Energy Efficiencies and Emission Reduction.

This one-stop reference is an essential resource for academics and industry professionals working in all areas of energy research across engineering, chemistry, physics, materials science, environmental science, geology and socio-economics. It also serves as a valuable resource for senior undergraduate and postgraduate students, college lecturers, policy makers and consultants.

世界能源危機不能只用一種獨特的解決方案來解決。眾所周知，我們必須同時開發各種系統和技術，為清潔和可持續的能源開發並製定一系列的策略，同時還要考慮環境、社會和經濟影響。《清潔能源系統手冊》在一個在線參考文獻中整合了來自該跨學科研究領域的大量信息。 手冊團隊是由國際知名的編輯、顧問委員會成員以及學術界和工業界的專家所組成，全面介紹了清潔能源研究的最新進展和實際應用。

對於從事工程、化學、物理、材料科學、環境科學、地質學和社會經濟學等能源研究各個領域的學者和行業專業人員而言，這全面性的參考資料是不可或缺的資源。還為大學四年級生、研究生、大學講師、政策制定者和顧問提供了寶貴的資源。
