Sustainable Energy Pathways to Net Zero addresses realistic pathways between now and 2050 to reach net zero: a steady state concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. It discusses solar and wind energy, hydrogen, energy storage, and electric vehicles, all of which are becoming an increasingly cost-efficient part of these pathways. Hydrogen, the price of electricity, the integration of different sources of electricity into the electrical grid, and the electric vehicle cha...

Integrating Converging Evidence in Behavioral Sciences presents a fresh approach to understanding the landscape of scientific research, particularly within the behavioral sciences.By examining the needs for consistency and coherence across different scientific disciplines, this book offers readers a practical framework for evaluating and advancing their research topics. Through a comprehensive overview of established frameworks such as Marr’s computational framework and Ti...

The world’s atmosphere is a common resource. Air quality, along with energy, transportation, and climate change have significant impacts on our lives and this book helps readers understand the changes happening at the nexus of these areas, as they relate to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and improving air quality. Discussing the transitions to electric vehicles, solar and wind energy for electricity generation, battery developments, smart grids and electric power management, and progres...

The Paris Agreement on Climate Change adopted on December 12, 2015 is a voluntary effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. In order to reach the goals of this agreement, there is a need to generate electricity without greenhouse gas emissions and to electrify transportation. An infrastructure of SPCSs can help accomplish both of these transitions. Globally, expenditures associated with the generation, transmission, and use of electricity are more than one trillion dollars per year. Annua...
