Microbiological Challenges in the Energy Industries : Bridging the Gap between Renewables and Non-Renewables

Abstract

With an emerging focus on fighting climate change and improving sustainability, it is imperative to share knowledge gained from investigating and addressing microbiological challenges in the non-renewable industry to the renewable industry. This book explores topics related to microbiological challenges impacting the energy sector. The chapters cover technological advances related to a wide range of topics including, but not limited to, microbiologically influenced corrosion in the energy sector, hydrocarbon biodegradation, and hydrogen storage. It offers cross-disciplinary knowledge and facilitates collaboration that can lead to holistic solutions for addressing complex microbiological challenges faced by the energy industry. Provides real-world perspectives on emerging trends, market demands, and technological challenges Explores fundamental concepts and disruptive breakthroughs Bridges the gap between theory and application, accelerating the development of cutting-edge solutions and widespread adoption of technologies to address microbiological challenges This text is aimed at an interdisciplinary audience, spanning readers in materials, chemical, process, corrosion, environmental, civil, and bioengineering.
