This chapter advances SDG goals 7 and 11 by proposing hardware to enable the use of smart grids and renewable energy.

This chapter advances the UN SDG goals 7, 11, and 12 by reviewing the current state of hydrogen production and markets to determine the most economically viable routes towards introducing clean hydrogen fuel

This chapter advances the UN SDG goals 7, 11, and 12 by envisioning the biodiesel-from-microalgae plant of the future through the exploitation of genetically modified algal strains, renewable (mainly solar) power sources, and wastewater/effluent treatment facilities for nutrient and water supply with a one-step harvesting/lipid process.

This chapter advances the UN SDG goals 7, 11, and 12 by examining the current state-of-the art technologies applied for the extraction of compounds from microalgae/pretreatment and downstream processing for biofuels and chemicals from microalgae.

This chapter advances the UN SDG goals 7, 11, and 12 by reviewing the fundamentals of hydrogen, it's properties, and its use as a sustainable fuel source

This chapter advances the UN SDG goals 7, 11, and 12 by discussing recent developments in biohydrogen production, including various biomass used as feedstock, conventional technologies for biohydrogen production, economics of biohydrogen production, and the application of biohydrogen

This chapter contributes to SDG goals 7, 11, and 13, by reviewing sustainable renewable energy policy and regulation, particularly in terms of climate change mitigation.

This chapter advances the UN SDG goals 7, 11, and 12 by discussing the current situation on the energetic and transportation sectors and ways to convert them to a biomass-based economy.

As evidence of the health impacts of transportation investments has grown, planners have increasingly used health impact assessments (HIAs) to evaluate transportation plans, projects, and policies.

This paper cautions that the adoption of electric vehicles with the aim of reducing greenhouse gas emissions must balance that beneficial effect against increased water consumption. It recommends battery electric vehicles charged by solar energy as the best solution.
