Les carrières de la Couronne, sur la commune de Martigues, ont été exploitées depuis au moins le IIIe s. av. J.-C. jusqu’au XXe s., avec une utilisation massive à certaines périodes, comme la fin de l’époque hellénistique (IIe-Ier s. av. J.-C.) ou le XVIIe. L’ouvrage propose d’abord un inventaire des carrières, situant chaque exploitation et proposant pour chacune, lorsque c’est possible, une chronologie. L’étude des carrières antiques et médiévales est particulièrement difficile parce que la réouverture de ces exploitations au cours d’époques plus récentes en a fait disparaître les traces. On aborde ensuite la question du transport des matériaux, à la fois par voie terrestre, à courte distance, et surtout pour l’accès aux ports d’embarquement, puis par voie maritime, pour laquelle on dispose de quelques épaves antiques et d’une documentation importante d’archives à l’époque moderne. La troisième partie est centrée sur les qualités techniques de la pierre de la Couronne et sur sa mise en œuvre dans les monuments, particulièrement à Marseille. Un chapitre traite des matériaux concurrents du calcaire de la Couronne. La dernière partie est consacrée au « village de carriers » de la Couronne, à l’organisation professionnelle et aux conditions sociales de la vie des carriers. Le volume est complété par une abondante annexe où sont regroupés une partie des nombreux documents d’archives utilisés.

Energy storage currently plays an important role in the electricity systems. Innovative energy storage solutions will play an important role in ensuring the integration of renewable energy sources into the electrical grids in the European Union. Pumped storage hydropower systems are the most mature technology of energy storage and account for over 90% of installed energy storage capacity worldwide. However, PSH technology is constrained by topography and land availability in flat areas. In addition, PSH plants are controversial due to their impacts on landscape, land use and the environment. Conversely, underground energy storage systems may be an interesting alternative to increase the energy storage capacity with low environmental impacts. To help address and resolve these types of questions, this book is comprised of eleven chapters that explore new ways of energy storage reducing the environmental impacts caused by the installation of conventional energy storage systems, as well as to increase the energy storage capacity and promote the use of disused underground space, such as abandoned mines and quarries. The chapters included in this book cover a wide spectrum of issues related to underground energy storage systems. Advances in underground pumped storage hydropower, compressed air energy storage and hydrogen energy storage systems are presented. Finally, we would like to thank both the MDPI publishing and editorial staff for their excellent work and support, as well as the authors who collaborated with your interesting research works.

The production of industrial and bioenergy crops has been the subject of scientific research for many years; however, the implementation of previously proposed solutions for commercial production is still at an early stage. It should be emphasized that when developing the production of industrial and bioenergy crops on agricultural lands, it is important to avoid land-use competition with the production of food and feed. It is well justified, for initiating the sustainable production of industrial and bioenergy crops, to promote efficient species for growing on marginal lands, which are unsuitable or less suitable for food or feed production. Another important point is that industrial and bioenergy crops should include nonfood and nonfeed crops and generate agricultural products categorized as commodities and/or raw materials for industrial goods and bioenergy. These industrial and bioenergy crops can become an important source of biomass. Of course, the concept of their cultivation for nonfood (and/or nonfeed) uses is not new but, despite considerable investment in research and development, little progress has been made with regard to the introduction of such crops and their products into the market. Therefore, the papers focus on innovations and perspectives regarding sustainable industrial and bioenergy crops production, logistic chains, biomass quality, utilization and cascade biomass use for bioeconomy, socio-economic and energy analyses, etc.
