Critical Comparison of Low-Carbon Technologies: A practical guide to prioritizing energy technologies for climate change mitigation

As someone who finds climate change real and very important to consider within our society, I enjoyed reading this book! The author lays out a good case for the different technologies that can be used to reduce CO2 and the issues that we face with doing so. I found the charts, graphs, and data helpful in understanding the science behind reducing CO2. I certainly would recommend this book to anyone interested in climate change and what we can do to lower the impact.

The book simply collects results. No significant insights.

The author has presented many examples with data and charts to explain available low carbon technologies including related economics. I would definitely recommend this book. A must read for anyone interested in investing in low carbon technologies.

Dr. Choudhary's book identifies a critical challenge facing the whole world in the race towards mitigating the massive fallout from climate change: which technologies to promote starting right now (or short term) that would be cost-effective and lead to the least amount backlash in terms of falling short of expectations or creating more problems than it was visualized to resolve. Using precise analytical tools on credible (and publicly available) data, the book uses balanced and uniform standards, build upon several important factors to compare all known energy and transport sector technologies so that a clear basis of prioritization can be formulated. The book cautions against being overly optimistic about certain low carbon solutions without paying due attention to scale of implementation and some important unknowns that should not be ignored. Choudhary arrives at cogent and logical prioritization schemes for both energy and transport sectors, but the reason this book deserves more credit is that any researcher (with no background in climate science or energy sector) is also able to draw at their own conclusions based on the analyses provided. This clarity is hard to achieve and kudos for that Dr. Choudhary.

A book that is timely and very well researched. Unlike several other popular science writers on the topic who merely glance on the practical aspects, Tushar takes a much more deeper dive when comparing alternatives and does not play favorites.

I am a newbie to this topic and still could understand the gist of the book. Easy to understand how things could play role in helping save the environment.

This is an excellent read. The author's presentation and comparison of low carbon technologies available is clear, simple and easy to understand with summarized examples, charts and graphs. I would definitely recommend this book. On the personal note, I am reminded to do more to help save our environment and our planet.

This self-published book is not well known, but well informed and well written, with many charts and tables.It is true that it is the large Asian nations, especially China and India, that need to cut their coal and gas emissions to avoid a world-wide climate disaster. However, it is the North American and European nations that have created the present climate crisis. It is misleading to suggest that the rich Northern nations are no longer the key nations that need to reduce their oil, gas and methane emissions. All nations need to act nowl

Fantastic book...
