Sustainable energy strategies must consider five parameters: a) availability of raw materials and accessibility of product market, b) safety and environment protection associated with the energy system, c) technical viability of the energy system at the commercial scale, d) affordable economics, and e) market potential of the given energy option in a changing global environment. The Sustainable Energy Strategies book series focuses on novel ideas that allow different energy sources to be sustainable for the long term within the framework of the five parameters outlined above. Strategies may include both improvement in existing technologies and the development of new technologies.
