Smart Sustainable Materials Advancing Remanufacturing and Technology

This book presents very important aspects toward greener solutions. The world is facing sever crisis in energy sectors. Also, due to an increasing population and pollutions, the drastic changes in the climatic conditions alarming globally. Solving the energy crisis is one of the most essential undertakings of the twenty-first century. Therefore, the primary objective of this book is to discuss on the methods for deploying renewable energy in India. Also, with this, how we could advance economic development, improve energy security, improve access to energy, and mitigate climate change. It is well reported that the sustainable development is only possible by using sustainable energy and by ensuring access to affordable, reliable, sustainable, and modern energy for citizens. Globally, most of the governmental agencies focusing to developing green and sustainable technology, i.e., solar panels, to produce sustainable environment and to control the changing climatic conditions. Indeed, access to clean, affordable, and reliable energy is an increasingly present concern and an increasingly essential one on the path to prosperity and global economic growth. The scope of this book mainly covers topics of Energy Economics related to sustainable challenges. Also, highlights the SMART and sustainable technologies, production, storage, consumption, markets, finance, education, and social aspects. This book provides in-depth knowledge about challenges faced during the processing of advanced materials and discusses possible ways to achieve sustainability in manufacturing. Major question we will cover in this book is how could effective policy strategies be designed and implemented to govern the challenges of climate change and energy transition in cities?

Overall, the theme of this book is highly important, especially for human being and environment. This covers most of the aspects related to the sustainable development to save energy for future decades.
