This is a unique book written by one of the leading scholars in the
field. It uses detailed case studies to analyze the successes,
failures and challenges of renewable energy initiatives in
developing and emerging countries.Incorporating the insights and
perspectives of researchers who come from the respective countries
covered, the study compares some of the most exciting success
stories, including: China's meteoric rise from near zero use of
renewable energy to being the world leader in solar thermal, solar
photovoltaic and wind energy; Brazil's success in becoming the
world s top ethanol producer and exporter; and India's pioneering
use of a hedge plant to produce biodiesel and its use of animal and
human wastes for rural electrification. The book also describes
Indonesia s disastrous palm oil program which cut down its forests
and excavated its peat bogs. It concludes that good leadership is
the largest factor in success, but that it is also critical to
include public participation, training, transparency, environmental
consideration, fair labor practices, protection against
exploitation and enforcement. This book is designed to be helpful
to other countries seeking to initiate renewable energy programs.
It will appeal to local administrators and policymakers, field
personnel from UN agencies and NGOs, and renewable energy funders,
as well as to academic researchers. Contents: Preface Introduction
