Renewable Energy – Volume 2: Wave, Geothermal, and Bioenergy 1st Edition

Renewable Energy – Volume 2: Wave, Geothermal, and Bioenergy by Abdul Ghani Olabi is a rigorous, practice-focused guide that brings three powerful renewable resources into one authoritative volume. Ideal for engineers, researchers, policy makers, and advanced students, this 1st edition explains the science, technology, and real-world deployment strategies that make wave, geothermal, and bioenergy viable solutions for regional and global energy systems.

Begin with a clear overview of wave energy technologies — from oscillating water columns and point absorbers to array integration and coastal deployment challenges — presented with practical design considerations and performance metrics. The geothermal sections translate subsurface science into engineering practice, covering resource assessment, reservoir engineering, drilling considerations, heat extraction methods, and small-to-large scale power generation options. The bioenergy chapters examine feedstock selection, biomass conversion pathways, biofuels, anaerobic digestion, and lifecycle and sustainability assessments that matter for agricultural and forestry regions.

Throughout, the book balances theoretical foundations with techno-economic analysis and environmental impact considerations, helping readers evaluate cost, scalability, and regional fit — whether for coastal communities harnessing waves, volcanic and tectonic zones exploiting geothermal heat, or rural and urban areas converting biomass into energy. Emphasis on practical methodology, case studies, and deployment strategies makes the content immediately applicable to project planning and policy development.

Clear, authoritative, and regionally relevant, Abdul Ghani Olabi’s Volume 2 is a must-have resource for anyone shaping the future of sustainable energy. Add this essential reference to your library to deepen technical expertise and inform high-impact renewable energy projects.
