Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Low-carbon technologies differ significantly in terms of their practical effectiveness for addressing climate change. And yet, this topic is rarely discussed! This is unfortunate given that understanding these differences is essential for the efficient use of our limited resources. Most local/national governments around the globe are pushing for the increased implementation of technologies such as solar, wind, battery storage, biofuels, hydropower, electric cars, etc. A large amount of information is available on these technologies. However, the comparison of these technologies in terms of their abilities to address the critical challenges associated with this complex problem is missing. Dr. Tushar Choudhary, a highly awarded technology specialist with twenty-five years of energy R&D experience, has addressed the above important gap by providing a systematic analysis on the following topics: Critical challenges associated with the targeted CO2 emission reduction Comparison of the technologies in terms of their abilities to address the critical challenges Prioritization of the technologies based on this comparison Being aware of the significant data ambiguity in this field, Choudhary has specifically relied on data from the most credible sources available for developing the analysis presented in this book. The concise analysis should benefit readers of all interest levels- from the mildly curious to those deeply involved with climate change mitigation. The book provides new insights into the widescale implementation of low-carbon technologies and should enable more informed climate change mitigation discussions.
