Renewable Energy: Power for a Sustainable Future, Third Edition, examines both the practical and economic potential of the renewable energy sources to meet this challenge. The underlying physical and technological principles behind deriving power from direct solar (solar thermal and photovoltaics), indirect solar (biomass, hydro, wind, and wave) and non-solar (tidal and geothermal) energy sources are explained, within the context of their environmental impacts, their economics, and their future prospects. Together with its companion volume, Energy Systems and Sustainability, Second Edition (OUP, 2012, 9780199593743), this book provides both perspective and detail on the relative merits and state of progress of technologies for utilizing the various "renewables." The analysis considers emissions, sustainability, cost implications, and energy security, as political and economic pressures move society towards a low-carbon future. From an overview of basic energy conversion processes to a discussion of the individual renewable sources to a concluding examination of the prospects for their integration into national and international networks, Renewable Energy: Power for a Sustainable Future, Third Edition, provides a valuable insight into prospects for the renewables. FEATURES Covers all principal sources of renewable energy currently being exploited Uses an interdisciplinary approach in considering economic, social, environmental, and policy issues Rich pedagogy including detailed color illustrations and tables of data COMPANION WEBSITE (www.oup.com/uk/orc/bin/9780199545339) For students: Self-assessment questions and links to further information and up-to-date energy statistics For instructors: Figures from the book in electronic format (available to registered adopters of the book) Review: Great, readable, comprehensive review of alternative energy - Excellent book. While reads like a textbook, the information is accurate, up to date, and complete. Lots of illustrations and diagrams to make the material easier to understand. Moderate understanding of math needed to do the calculations, but if all you're looking for is a review of alternative energy and its place in the world, this will be great for you. My professor used this book as a textbook for our Renewable Energy in the Pacific Northwest class. I won't be returning it. Review: Great Book - Is a nice book. Has several and updated information about renewables. Is UK centric but also explain world situation. Is so easy to understand, even to people with low knowledge in power engineering. As a Mechanical engineer, I could say is a great book to get a global knowledge about renewables. Full Color book, several topics, writers, pictures. Recommended book. ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #971,939 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #237 in Environmental Studies #825 in Energy Production & Extraction #1,527 in Environmental Science (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 95 Reviews | ## Images ![Renewable Energy: Power for a Sustainable Future - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61sOD5O21AL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great, readable, comprehensive review of alternative energy *by B***N on September 12, 2013* Excellent book.

Has several and updated information about renewables. Is UK centric but also explain world situation. Is so easy to understand, even to people with low knowledge in power engineering. As a Mechanical engineer, I could say is a great book to get a global knowledge about renewables. Full Color book, several topics, writers, pictures. Recommended book. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Comprehensive and effective *by S***N on February 25, 2013* The Third Edition provides current, up to date information and does a great job connecting the science of renewable energy to "real life," while still ensuring the reader learns the fundamentals of the science. The text produces an educated reader able to effectively apply learned information where it matters. The text addresses renewable energy specifics of the UK much more than specifics elsewhere in the world. More information on renewable energy as it applies to different countries and regions would be beneficial. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/5466651-renewable-energy-power-for-a-sustainable-future](https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/5466651-renewable-energy-power-for-a-sustainable-future) --- *Product available on Desertcart Argentina* *Store origin: AR* *Last updated: 2026-05-21*
