Recent Advances in Green Technologies and Sustainable Development

Recent advances in green technologies and sustainable development deals with cutting-edge research and innovative ideas in different categories of green technologies and operational aspects of sustainable development including renewable energy sources, power systems, mathematical ecol?ogy, industrial technologies, construction and material sciences. The chapters are written by eminent and insightful authors to propose improvement and expansion of processes and applications connected to sustainable development. Environmental awareness and protection are one of the challenging issues of the new millennia. Industrialization and population explosion has opened new frontiers in the conservation of environmental protection. Rapid urbanization is proving to have direct consequences on the environment. The need of the hour is a balanced approach to multi layered conservative methods. Any sustainable devel?opment has a multifaceted approach, encompassing environmental, tech?nological, social, and economical developmental dimensions. This book focuses on these various issues in a progressive manner. The selected papers in this book have highlighted a plethora of issues related to green technology and sustainable development. Ample care has been given to selecting the papers which tried to bridge the gap between technological advancement and its impact on the environment.
