Environment and Renewable Energy

This book presents peer-reviewed papers of the 2023 9th International Conference on Environment and Renewable Energy (ICERE 2023), which was held in Hanoi, Vietnam, during February 24-26, 2023, in hybrid mode (both online and in-person). The conference was sponsored by the Hanoi University of Science and Technology, Vietnam, and facilitated exchanging the latest and most advanced information between scientists and engineers in the fields of environment and renewable energy. The book focuses on research related to environmental management; water resources management; ground water remediation; water treatment and reclamation; solar, biomass and wind energy; nuclear energy engineering; renewable energy grids; environmental impact assessment; and renewable energy utilization, among other topics. This volume serves as an excellent reference for researchers and engineers seeking to understand the latest technological developments in these fields.

Prof. Pen-Chi Chiang began his teaching and research activities at the National Taiwan University after he obtained his Ph.D. degree from the Department of Civil Engineering, Purdue University, USA, in 1982. Currently, he is a distinguished professor of the Graduate Institute of Environmental Engineering, National Taiwan University; a director of the Carbon Cycle Research Center of National Taiwan University; a board-certified environmental engineer of the American Academy of Environmental Engineers and Scientists (AAEES); a fellow of the Water Environment Federation (WEF); and a representative of the American Academy of Water Resources Engineers of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE). He has been actively involved in international and national academic associations and has served as a member of the board of directors (1987-2007), executive committee (2001), and academic committee (2008-present) of the WEF; the chairman of the International Association on Water Quality Specialized Conference (2001); the president of the Chinese Institute of Environmental Engineering (2004-2006); and a member of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers Local Chapter (2009-present).
