The Second Edition of the book "Renewable
Resources and Renewable Energy: A Global Challenge", edited by
Paolo Fornasiero and Mauro Graziani, is now available. In its first edition,
this book presented a well-rounded perspective on the development of bio-based
feedstocks, biodegradable plastics, hydrogen energy, fuel cells, and other
aspects related to renewable resources and sustainable energy production.
The new second edition builds upon this foundation to explore new trends
and technologies. The authors pay particular attention to hydrogen-based
and fuel cell-based technologies and provide real-world case studies of
renewable energy projects in the emerging Asian and South American markets.

Ceremony of affiliation with the National Research Council (CNR)
On March, 18, the official ceremony of Research Unit location will be
held at the Department of Chemical Sciences with the participation of
the Rector, Prof. Francesco Peroni, and the Director of the Institute
of Chemistry of OrganoMetallic Compounds, Dr. Claudio Bianchini.
Affiliation
with the National Research Council (CNR)
From January 2008, the Department of
Molecular Design of the National Research Council (CNR)
has established a new Research Unit located at the University of Trieste
- Department of Chemistry. The new research centre is associated with
the Institute of Chemistry of OrganoMetallic Compounds (ICCOM)
of Florence, coordinated by Dr. Claudio Bianchini.
This represents a turning point in a fruitful scientific collaboration
between researchers at the Chemistry Department, and in particular the
research group of Professor Mauro Graziani, and various CNR research centres.
A stronger and more scientifically productive interaction is expected
on the base of the possibility of sharing a large number of advanced instruments.
The research activities will be initially focused on the following topics:
- hydrogen production from reforming reaction of oxygenates;
- development of components for fuel cells;
- use of templating polymers for nanostructured catalyst preparation.

Mauro Graziani and Paolo Fornasiero have recently edited the book:
Renewable Resources and Renewable Energy: A Global Challenge.
The book first examines the transformation of bio-based renewable feedstock
into valuable, clean, and economically attractive products. It explains
the
catalytic processes involved and surveys the relevant commercial technologies
that are available. The book highlights how these technologies can be
used for
efficient waste management solutions, particularly for the synthetic polymers
industry, as well as energy production. The authors also pay particular
attention to current trends for hydrogen-based and fuel cell-based
technologies and provide real-world case studies of renewable energy projects
in Asia and South America.
