This book evaluates advances made in heat-to-power technologies for conventional combustion heat and nuclear heat, and natural sources of geothermal, solar, and waste heat generated from the use of different sources. It covers the commercial viability of advanced technologies and identifies where more work needs to be done.

Generally, sources for power generation are broken down into two categories: thermal and non-thermal. This book examines non-thermal sources of power generation and emphasizes recent advances in distributed power generation systems.

The book examines the many roles of natural and synthetic gas in the energy and fuel industry. It describes types of gaseous fuels and how are they are recovered, purified, and converted to liquid fuels and electricity generation. It emphasizes methane, syngas, and hydrogen as fuels and deals with storage and transportation infrastructure for na

This text describes water¿s use in the production of raw fuels, as an energy carrier (e.g., hot water and steam), and as a reactant, reaction medium, and catalyst for the conversion of raw fuels to synthetic fuels. It explains how supercritical water is used to convert fossil- and bio-based feedstock to synthetic fuels in the presence and absence of a catalyst. It also explores water as a direct source of energy and fuel, such as hydrogen from water dissociation, methane from water-based clathrate molecules, and more.
