Energy is becoming a prominent driver of economic development. Each
year, billions of dollars are invested around the world by the
public and private sectors in low-emissions energy development and
energy efficiency planning. Energy-based economic development
(EBED) is a domain that seizes the opportunities inherent in clean
energy development to drive innovation and generate economic
growth. Energy-based economic development: How clean energy can
drive development and stimulate economic growth delivers working
definitions, common approaches, descriptions of supportive policy
mechanisms, and suggested metrics for evaluation. The book offers a
unified framework for EBED that is supported by examples and leaves
readers better equipped to design, plan, and implement EBED
initiatives. Case studies illustrate how national and subnational
initiatives adopt to a locale's energy asset base, energy and
economic development needs, and the context in which the initiative
operates. Descriptions of the energy projects supported by the
American Recovery and Reinvestment Act offer insights about what
worked and what did not and suggest ways in which governments can
be better prepared to manage EBED projects in the future. This book
provides the tools necessary to work toward simultaneous energy and
economic development goals and facilitates discussion for an
advanced policy agenda of energy efficiency, energy
diversification, innovation-led economic growth, and job creation.
