DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/db6f1e/nanotechnology_and) has announced the addition of the "Nanotechnology and Energy: Science, Promises and its Limits" book to their offering.
The importance of innovation in the way that energy is currently supplied is crucial given the finite resources and the impact of their use on the global environment in the form of climate change. Optimising the current energy supply and energy demand patterns or developing new conventional and renewable energy technologies to meet the ever increasing global demand for energy will require ground-breaking advances in research, for example, to increase energy efficiency or enable the uptake of renewable energy in the market. Novel breakthroughs in the cutting edge field of nanotechnology, as a cross-sectional technology, show potential to be applied across the whole value chain of the energy sector (energy sources, energy conversion, energy distribution, energy storage and energy usage).
This book gives an overview of nanotechnological applications within the value chain of the energy sector and evaluates selected applications and their direct and indirect impacts on the energy sec-tor. It presents selected nanotechnological applications which influence the energy economy significantly. Furthermore the book gives a comprehensive description of the impacts and outcomes of selected nanotechnological applications on energy consumption, energy sources, energy supply and the energy industry in Germany and shows the potential of these applications for energy savings, improvement in energy efficiency and the reduction of emissions until 2030.
