Sustainability assessment is the core instrument for implementing
sustainable development targets. The energy sector is playing a
crucial role in achieving sustainable development in the country,
as energy consumption is the main driver of economic growth; it
also has the biggest environmental impact, and therefore
sustainability assessment in the energy sector requires special
attention. Sustainability Assessment in the Energy Sector consists
of seven chapters: in the first chapter, the sustainability concept
is described; in the second chapter, sustainability assessment
concepts are reviewed and discussed; in the third chapter,
sustainability assessment tools and methods are summarized and
described; in the fourth chapter, the main problems of sustainable
energy development are addressed; in the fifth chapter,
externalities in the energy sector are introduced; in the sixth
chapter, sustainability assessment tools applicable to the energy
sector are categorized; and finally, in the seventh chapter,
practical examples of sustainability assessment in the energy
sector are provided by covering sustainability assessment of
electricity and district heat generation technologies. These
methods include the assessment of external costs of electricity
generation, sustainability assessment of electricity and transport
technologies based on the GHG emission costs and carbon intensities
of these technologies. The final chapter also discusses the
sustainability assessment of policies and measures for energy
sector development scenarios. The book was prepared by summarizing
research findings in the field of sustainability assessment in the
energy sector, which was conducted by the author of this book over
a period of ten years.
