Description
Analysis of sustainable systems is one of the most important tasks facing today's engineers. The fossil fuel economy, while historically among the most important drivers of modern prosperity, has led to serious environmental and social problems throughout the world and is having long term deleterious effects on the environment globally. Designing future energy and related systems that decouple fossil fuels from consumption, while maintaining a high standard of prosperity requires a clear understanding of the role of sustainable systems in modern society, a knowledge of emerging fuels and conversion technologies, an awareness of the importance of conservation and efficiency, and a clear understanding of the stakeholders, their goals and the boundaries under which they operate.Ìý
