When the Nobel Prize Committee recognized the importance of green with its 2005 Nobel Prize for , this relatively new science came into its own. Although no concerted agreement has been reached yet about the exact content and limits of this interdisciplinary discipline, there seems to be increasing interest in environmental topics that are based on the embodied in this subject. Linking green practice to environmental sustainability, Green for Environmental Sustainability illustrates the efforts being made to remediate a scathed environment into a pristine one.

Links Green Practice to Environmental Sustainability

Eminent international experts present research on and the application of green and engineering in addressing current issues of an environmental and social nature. They cover sustainable development and environmental sustainability with chapters on green and engineering research, the design and synthesis of environmentally benign chemical processes, green approaches to minimize and/or remediate environmental pollution, the development of biomaterials, biofuel, and bioenergy production, biocatalysis, and policies and ethics in green . The book also explores economics, environmentally benign technologies for greener processes, computational methods and modeling, and green approaches to minimize air and water.

Green has brought a relatively prompt and positive paradigm shift in the overall use and management of natural resources and raw materials for the development of society with a subtle promise to cause far less pronounced harm to the environment. This text pres insight into the chemical and biochemical technologies that are being studied, optimized, and eventually developed to promote environmental sustainability. It pres up-to-date information on selected fields where the principles of green are being embraced for safeguarding and improving the quality of the environment.
