The Material Limits of Energy Transition: Thanatia[electronic resource] /by Alicia Valero, Antonio Valero, Guiomar Calvo. - 1st ed. 2021. - XXIV, 253 p. 113 illus., 100 illus. in color.online resource.

What is this Book About? -- The Mineral Voracity of Human Beings -- On the Availability of resources on Earth -- The (Thermodynamic) Value of Scarcity -- The Physical Value of Mineral Resources -- Material Limits of Energy Transition -- The Hidden Cost of Technology -- Looking to the Future.

Earth has become a huge mine, with a greater quantity and variety of fundamental mineral resources being extracted year after year. Technology, from electric cars to everyday electrical equipment, consume vast amounts of scarce raw materials. On a planet with limited resources, are these minerals being properly assessed? Will there be enough raw materials to meet the demand of a world population on track to reach 10 billion people? What will be the consequences of accelerated resource depredation? Will the planet one day become 'Thanatia', a resource-exhausted Earth? This book allows readers to understand the mineral heritage of the Earth, considering the demand for raw materials in society, comparing it with the availability of resources on Earth and the impact of mining. The basics of physical geonomics are exlpained, allowing readers to analyse the loss of mineral resources on the planet. The impact of renewable energies and technologies, including electric vehicles, are studied. The book concludes with possible solutions to mineral depletion, from increasing recycling rates, ecodesign measures or alternative sources of mineral resources. Providing numerous tables and illustrations, 'The Material Limits of Energy Transition: Thanatia' gives readers a thorough understanding of mineral depletion. Exploring geology, geochemistry, mining, metallurgy, the environment and thermodynamics, this is a truly holistic book.
