Abstract
SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.
Abstract
Green technologies provide an eco-friendly and sustainable alternative to
conventional technologies. Conventional technologies used for combating pollution
show certain limitations and drawbacks. Green technologies have been accepted
worldwide for their advantages, such as easy availability, less environmental harm and
sustainability. In recent years, solar, wind, geothermal energy, and alternate fuels, such
as biogas and biodiesel, have emerged as eco-friendly alternatives to conventional
energy sources and fuels. Green technologies, such as developing eco-friendly and
recyclable products, have restricted the release of greenhouse gases, generation of
waste, and exploitation of natural resources to a great extent. Green technologies thus
provide a sustainable option to prevent environmental degradation and over-exploitation of natural resources. Carbon-neutral alternatives have the potential to meet
the needs of present and future generations. The production of clean energy is one of
the major approaches to get a sustainable environment. Developing clean and
environmentally friendly carbon-neutral alternatives can prove useful in meeting the
needs of the fuels of present and future generations.
