Energy and Fuel Systems Integration explains how growing energy and fuel demands, paired with the need for environmental preservation, require different sources of energy and fuel to cooperate and integrate with each other rather than simply compete. Providing numerous examples of energy and fuel systems integration success stories, this book:Discusses the use of different mixtures of fuels for combustion, gasification, liquefaction, pyrolysis, and anaerobic digestion processesDescribes the use of hybrid nuclear and renewable energy systems for power and heat cogenerations with nonelectrical applicationsDetails the holistic integration of renewable, nuclear, and fossil energy systems by gas, heat, and smart electrical gridsEnergy and Fuel Systems Integration emphasizes the many advantages of these integrated systems, including sustainability, flexibility for optimization and scale-up, and more efficient use of storage, transportation, and delivery infrastructures.

The book examines the many roles of natural and synthetic gas in the energy and fuel industry. It describes types of gaseous fuels and how are they are recovered, purified, and converted to liquid fuels and electricity generation. It emphasizes methane, syngas, and hydrogen as fuels and deals with storage and transportation infrastructure for natural gas and hydrogen and methods and processes for cleaning and reforming synthetic gas. It discusses applications, such as the use of natural gas in power production in power plants, engines, turbines, and vehicle needs.
