Biogas Technology Biogas is a renewable energy resource that can be an alternative solution for the world’s insatiable energy demands while helping in managing waste and reducing the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. It is also regarded as carbon neutral as the carbon in biogas comes from organic matter (feedstock) that captured this carbon from atmospheric CO2 over a relatively short timescale. This book has been written and compiled to collate latest information on biogas technology to help readers to understand the fruitful exploitation of the process. Note: T&F does not sell or distribute the Hardback in India Pakistan Nepal Bhutan Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. This title is co-published with New India Publishing Agency. GBP 180.00 1
Break Bulk and Cargo Management This book covers the subjects of break bulk cargo general cargo and project cargo and how these cargoes are shipped. It deals with the cargoes themselves the vessels used for their carriage and how the carriage is managed using the process of vessel chartering. Alongside these it also covers offshore vessel management and how offshore supply vessels are used to carry cargoes to offshore oil and gas installations. Break bulk cargo covers a wide variety of cargoes from project cargo to more varied cargoes carried on an ad hoc basis often between ports that are not equipped for container traffic. It also covers the carriage of specific cargoes that cannot fit inside or are unsuitable for containers. This includes the carriage of cargoes for major projects and cargoes for the offshore sector which is an area covered in a specific section in the book concerning the use of offshore supply vessels. To date only minor elements of shipping books cover this kind of trade hence the need for a new book that specifically covers this subject. The focus of this book is providing expert insights and detailed explanations of the practical issues related to all aspects of break bulk and general cargo management. The book is written for legal practitioners shipping managers managers of project cargo oil and gas companies shipping professionals charterers shipbrokers shippers and anybody else involved in ad hoc vessel chartering for the carriage of break bulk general and project cargoes. It will also serve as a valuable resource for students of shipping. | Break Bulk and Cargo Management GBP 240.00 1
