Description

Volume III of this World Sustainability Series title tackles one of the defining challenges of the energy transition: how to make the materials, products and manufacturing processes behind renewable energy and climate solutions genuinely sustainable. Across 40 chapters, an international team of contributors examines the intersection of smart materials, remanufacturing, and energy policy, arguing that "sustainable development is only possible by using sustainable energy." The volume moves from energy economics and climate finance through smart manufacturing technologies, biomaterials, and life cycle assessment, to the social, psychological and health dimensions of the energy transition — bridging theoretical frameworks with the practical realities of Industry 5.0 and 6.0.

Key Features

• Explains how AI and machine learning are being applied to optimize renewable energy systems and biospheric modelling
• Details circular-economy approaches for energy and material sustainability, including green thermal spray coatings and biodegradable materials for energy storage
• Includes dedicated life cycle assessment (LCA) methodology for evaluating energy systems and sustainable materials in real projects

Q&A

What does this book cover?
It covers the intersection of smart, sustainable materials with renewable energy technology, circular-economy manufacturing, climate finance, and energy policy across 40 chapters.

Is this suitable for a university engineering or sustainability library?
Yes — it is aimed at researchers, academics, and industry practitioners across materials science, energy engineering, and sustainability policy.

Does it include practical, applied content or only theory?
Both — chapters move from theoretical frameworks (e.g. climate science, LCA methodology) to applied case studies in manufacturing, healthcare, and energy storage.

What makes this volume different from earlier volumes in the series?
Volume III focuses specifically on the Energy Transition & Climate Change angle, applying the World Sustainability Series' materials-and-manufacturing lens to renewable energy adoption.
