Soft cover, perfect binding, Global Energy Transition and Its Impact on Fuel and Lubrication provides a deep, system-wide analysis of how the global movement toward renewable energy is reshaping the future of fuels, lubricants, and the industries they support. Authored by Michael D. Holloway, this work examines the declining role of fossil fuels, the rise of electric vehicles, and the increasing importance of sustainable alternatives like hydrogen, biofuels, and synthetic fuels. It explores how decarbonization targets, carbon taxes, and renewable subsidies are accelerating changes in infrastructure, formulation, and regulatory compliance pressuring traditional fuel and lubricant sectors to evolve or risk obsolescence.
The book focuses on both challenges and opportunities emerging from this transition. It addresses disruptions in base oil availability, the reformulation of lubricants for electric drivetrains and hydrogen systems, and the need for longer-life, environmentally acceptable fluids in renewable energy machinery such as wind turbines, solar trackers, and hydrogen compressors. Through detailed discussion of lifecycle emissions, circular economy practices, and condition monitoring technologies, the book illustrates how lubricant performance and sustainability are increasingly intertwined.
Global policy shifts, investment trends, and OEM innovation are explored through case studies, highlighting the realignment of supply chains and product development strategies. The book also delves into region-specific dynamics, recognizing that while industrialized nations accelerate the shift to renewables, emerging economies balance climate goals with access and affordability.
Designed for engineers, product developers, energy strategists, and sustainability professionals, this book is both a technical reference and a strategic roadmap. It challenges readers to rethink fuel and lubricant roles in a rapidly changing energy ecosystem one where performance, regulatory alignment, and environmental stewardship must go hand-in-hand. In doing so, it provides critical insights for navigating the energy transition with resilience, foresight, and innovation.
