[null,null,null,"Sommario/riassunto","In the complex web of energy resource, production, storage, use, and efficiency, materials play a critical role as diverse and far-reaching as energy itself. In this book, the availability, accessibility, and affordability of different energy sources are discussed. Energy production processes as well as material uses and performance requirements in fossil, nuclear, solar, bio, wind, hydrothermal, geothermal, and ocean energy systems are addressed.  Materials science issues in energy conversion systems are presented.  In addition, energy harvesting and storage issues (including hydrogen storage"]
