Petroleum, Natural Gas and Coal : Nature, Formation Mechanisms, Future Prospects in the Energy Transition.
Undoubtedly, the industrialized countries are already facing a major and even existential problem: that of the transition from societies based on the massive use of fossil fuels to societies that have learned to do without them. This will, of necessity, be the real driver of the energy transition th...
