Handbook on Renewable Energy and Green Technology
暫譯: 可再生能源與綠色科技手冊

本書是各種可再生能源技術原則的彙編與整理，探討我們如何利用太陽、風、 biomass、生質能、地熱、潮汐及水資源以更可持續的方式產生能源。每一章節都以每種技術背後的基本理論開始，並配以清晰的圖示以便理解其原理和應用。書中還解釋了能源的基本概念，包括能源的轉移，以及自然資源的限制。從太陽能和風能開始，文本說明了來自太陽、風和水的能源是如何轉移並轉換為電力的。其他章節涵蓋了能源轉換的方法、生質能、燃料生產以及其他新型和可再生能源來源，如地熱、水力、潮汐和海洋能源。
