Volume 2 - Policy Instruments and Co-Regulation for the Sustainability of Value Chains, by Ugarte & Swinkels

Volume 3 - 
Advances in Thermoactive Foundations (2015) by Moncef Krarti et al.

This innovative concise monograph series (comprised of focused volumes of 100-120 pages each) provides quality, peer-reviewed perspectives and applications of engineering technologies to a sustainable, low carbon economy.  


Written by leading experts in energy and environmental engineering, pollution control and environmental policy, the series is intended to furnish the 21st century engineer with a practical and well-rounded introduction concerning the new sustainability agenda – one focused on energy resource efficiency, linked infrastructures and integrated policy design.   Each concise monograph offers a definitive analysis of its subject, with an applied focus that promotes engineering relevance and the contribution of technology to the sustainability agenda. 

Following an introduction to the key issues and the tenets of systems thinking, the series adopts a ‘resource cycle’ logic; progressing through a discussion of ecosystems and natural resources, materials extraction and flow through economies and then sustainable manufacturing and energy utilization.  These themes are then linked to the cross-cutting aspects of pollution control and, finally, organizational governance and policy development.

The series will be comprised of 100-120 page contributions disseminating in an accessible manner new and developing technologies that can reduce carbon emissions, improve renewable and more environmentally friendly implementation of such technologies across a broad spectrum of applications to enhance our lives and prolong our existence on planet Earth. Each published contribution will yield valuable information with a particular emphasis on the potential benefits that application of these technologies can provide for a more sustainable environment.

The series will focus on new technologies that will contribute to a more sustainable environment and, through application, impact our lives.

Core topics include, but not limited to:

  • Innovative new energy generation (advanced fuels, energy from waste, biomass)
  • Renewable energy
  • Cleaner fossil and safer nuclear energy technologies (including carbon capture and storage)
