Preface

The worldwide energy demand has been currently addressed by hundreds of scientific published articles, books, newspapers, symposiums, scientific and technological conferences in the field. Accordingly, to these sources considerable enhancement on the worldwide energy consumption was projected for reaching the double and triple in 2050 and 2100 compared with 13 TW (Terawatts) needed nowadays. The increased global energy consumption with an uncontrollable CO2 emission from fossil energy resource that supply the carbon-based technology is the challenge facing the humanity in this century. Free-carbon technology is an alternative way to produce clean and sustainable source of energy to prevent the urban air pollution and provide an environmental friendly. To reach this scenario a scalable and cost-effective methods to design new materials for engineering highly efficiency free-carbon technologies and fuels must be developed. In this sense, the future energy demand and CO2
