Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whether you are an engineer by trade, an energy policymaker, or an investor, and you hear the term "Energy Strategy," what immediately comes to mind? Now, if you are not directly dealing with energy or strategy, does the term "Energy Strategy" sound like a new way to get a higher price for a liter of gasoline?Practical examples from Energy, Strategy, Blockchain, and Circular Economy demonstrate the feasibility of experimental thinking by using known tools and processes from the industry and connecting these already well-known concepts to innovative and beyond-state-of-the-art thinking.To facilitate reading and understanding, the book has been divided into four parts: Part a: Energy Strategy ModelingPart b: Guide to Blockchain and Fuzzy logicPart c: Recovering waste energy Part d: Importance to HydrogenHowever, it must be mentioned that the aim of this book is not to cover all scientific details, but it should provide evidence for the way it's done now, the way we'd suggest, and some alternative ways we might be able to do it. In some cases, we use the FERMI approach for easy approximation, and in other cases we use initial conceptual formulas that of course need to be further developed when models need to be fully designed and implemented in new or existing industrial environments. Because of its interdisciplinarity and its easily kept explanatory texts, this book should be used as a key introduction into and a reference book for energy and energy-related subjects for energy policy-makers, undergraduate and graduate studies, engineers, as well as casual readers.

Download or read book Industry 4 0 and Circular Economy written by Antonis Mavropoulos and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2020-11-16 with total page 447 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How the marriage of Industry 4.0 and the Circular Economy can radically transform waste management—and our world Do we really have to make a choice between a wasteless and nonproductive world or a wasteful and ultimately self-destructive one? Futurist and world-renowned waste management scientist Antonis Mavropoulos and sustainable business developer and digital strategist Anders Nilsen respond with a ringing and optimistic “No!” They explore the Earth-changing potential of a happy (and wasteless) marriage between Industry 4.0 and a Circular Economy that could—with properly reshaped waste management practices—deliver transformative environmental, health, and societal benefits. This book is about the possibility of a brand-new world and the challenges to achieve it. The fourth industrial revolution has given us innovations including robotics, artificial intelligence, 3D-printing, and biotech. By using these technologies to advance the Circular Economy—where industry produces more durable materials and runs on its own byproducts—the waste management industry will become a central element of a more sustainable world and can ensure its own, but well beyond business as usual, future. Mavropoulos and Nilsen look at how this can be achieved—a wasteless world will require more waste management—and examine obstacles and opportunities such as demographics, urbanization, global warming, and the environmental strain caused by the rise of the global middle class. · Explore the new prevention, reduction, and elimination methods transforming waste management · Comprehend and capitalize on the business implications for the sector · Understand the theory via practical examples and case studies · Appreciate the social benefits of the new approach Waste-management has always been vital for the protection of health and the environment. Now it can become a crucial role model in showing how Industry 4.0 and the Circular Economy can converge to ensure flourishing, sustainable—and much brighter—future.

There are a lot of factors discussed that worsen our environment. Environmental degradation due to the pollution from fossil fuels induce countries to decrease their use, however, until the productivity of renewable resources reaches the necessary level, countries continue to be highly dependent on non-renewable sources. Another important issue is increasing waste in all spheres of our life. One of the solutions for the environmental degradation slowdown is in circular economy. The circular economy aims to produce as less waste as possible by reusing materials in new productions. The circular economy is becoming part of many different sectors of an economy.
