Introduction

Sustainable Composites for Future Trends in Renewable Energy connects sustainability principles with high-performance composite design, highlighting eco-friendly synthesis, bio-based reinforcements, circular material models, and low-carbon energy applications across solar, wind, hydro, and bioenergy. Key chapters examine lightweight structural composites, biodegradable polymers, nanocomposites for energy storage, and life cycle assessment (LCA) methods increasingly used by the industry. The book positions sustainable composites as a core enabler in the global transition toward resilient and low-carbon energy systems.

Key Features

  • - Explains sustainable composite synthesis and manufacturing paths.
  • - Highlights bio-based and biodegradable reinforcement and polymer options.
  • - Demonstrates a lightweight, durable composite design for renewable energy systems.
  • - Explores nanocomposites for energy storage and barrier performance.
  • - Connects life cycle assessment insights to real industry adoption.
  • - Links circular material strategies to low-carbon economic goals.

Target Readership:

For scientists, engineers, researchers, and postgraduate students seeking practical and accessible knowledge in sustainable composites for clean energy systems.
