Differing interpretations, perspectives and expectations on the
term sustainability exist. To take sustainability as an action
guiding mandate for implementation it needs to be concrete and
measurable as well it should weigh pros and cons. But how can such
an integrated measurement in the field of renewable energy be
conducted balancing the trade-offs between opposing indicators?
Glances at Renewable and Sustainable Energy provides a thorough
overview on the generic principles of sustainability assessment,
including projective, thresholding and systemic principles and
summarizes five common approaches for a holistic measurement.
Approaches such as multi criteria decision analysis, ecological
footprint analysis and normative-functional concepts are applied to
different case studies in developed-, emerging and developing
countries to cover a wide bandwidth of various renewable energy
carriers under various conditions. Each case study includes 2 boxes
illustrating the scheme behind the approach and exemplary
calculations to allow a systematic comparison and a critical
reflection of the methods applied. Compiling results on renewable
energy assessment of the last decades, Glances at Renewable and
Sustainable Energy gives researchers, students, consultants,
politicians and entrepreneurs the tools to advance their oriental
and instructional knowledge on sustainability and sustainability
measurement, to reflect their decisions and tools for analysis and
to transfer this knowledge into problem-solving.
