Encyclopedia of Sustainable Technologies, Eight Volume Set provides an
authoritative assessment of the sustainable technologies that are
currently available or in development. Sustainable technology includes
the scientific understanding, development and application of a wide
range of technologies and processes and their environmental
implications.
Systems and lifecycle analyses of energy systems, environmental
management, agriculture, manufacturing and digital technologies provide
a comprehensive method for understanding the full sustainability of
processes. In addition, the development of clean processes through green
chemistry and engineering techniques are also described.
The book is the first multi-volume reference work to employ both Life
Cycle Analysis (LCA) and Triple Bottom Line (TBL) approaches to
assessing the wide range of technologies available and their impact upon
the world. Both approaches are long established and widely recognized,
playing a key role in the organizing principles of this valuable work.
