The introductory chapter sets the current energy scene and its use in different countries. An outline is given for the electricity mix, how power generation is controlled, and why it may lead to on-demand power reduction. This outline is followed by a discussion of the technical aspects on generating renewable energy as well as energy storage with respect to efficiencies and important factors in the decision-making process. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eRenewable Energy in the Process Industry\u003c\/i\u003e includes information on: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRequirements for renewable energy in the process industry, such as stronger grid connections, extension of the grid together with its stability, and better communication between operators\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePossible intermittency\/interruptions in the heat supply that can arise when renewable energy is used\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eElectrification of the process industry to reduce emissions\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eImplementation of renewable energies in a variety of different industries, ranging from steel and cement manufacturing to pharmaceuticals and wastewater treatment, with flowsheets and operating conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eRenewable Energy in the Process Industry\u003c\/i\u003e is a timely, forward-thinking resource for process, chemical, and pharmaceutical engineers, bioengineers, and engineers involved in power technology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eEric van Steen\u003c\/b\u003e is a professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Cape Town (UCT), South Africa, where he holds the South African Research Chair in Reaction Engineering (SARChI).
