Renewable Wind-Hydrogen Systems for Climate-Resilient Agriculture

This book examines the integration of renewable energy into greenhouse agriculture as a pathway toward greater energy security, climate resilience, and sustainability. Particular attention is given to wind energy and hydrogen production through water electrolysis. Wind resource characteristics, vertical extrapolation, energy production potential, capacity factors, economic performance, and greenhouse-gas mitigation are assessed for different wind turbine technologies. Surplus renewable electricity is further considered for hydrogen production, storage, and subsequent agricultural applications, including heating, equipment operation, and transportation. The book also evaluates the contribution of renewable-powered greenhouse farming to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, particularly through reduced fossil-fuel dependence, lower environmental impacts, improved energy resilience, and enhanced food security. Overall, it provides a scientific and practical framework for researchers, engineers, policymakers, and agricultural practitioners seeking to develop technologically advanced, low-carbon, and resilient greenhouse production systems.
