Delving into the connections between renewable energy and economics on an international level
this book focuses specifically on hydropower and geothermal power production for use in the
power intensive industry. It takes readily available government and international statistics to
provide insight into how businesses and economists can interpret the factors that influence the
growth of power intensive industries. It also discusses the CarbFix and SulFix projects that
involve the injection of hydrogen sulphide (H2S) and carbon dioxide (CO2) back to reservoir as
an emission reduction method. With improved engineering processes both types of power
generation are increasingly subject to economies of scale. These exciting technological
developments have a great potential to change the way the world works as the economy continues
to rely so heavily on energy to drive production. Green energy is without a question going to
be a major factor in our future so studying it at its nascence is particularly exciting. This
book is intended for academic researchers and students interested in current economic and
environmental hot topics as well as people interested in the inner workings of a possible new
investment opportunity.
