Renewable energy has enjoyed relatively good - and sometimes
extraordinary - growth in recent years, in particular photovoltaics
and wind; but it will be difficult to sustain such rates of
diffusion on a global basis. A more complete transition to
renewable energy is required on a demanding timescale set by
climate change and fossil fuel depletion. This book analyses
strategies for promoting renewable energy within the context of a
rapid energy transition, using case studies from different
countries over the past 30 years. Having described the global
context in detail, covering oil and gas depletion, climate change,
third world development and the potential for renewable energy, the
authors evaluate support mechanisms at national and international
levels, offering readers a clear understanding of the regulatory
framework and an opportunity to promote renewable energy
effectively. This book offers energy policy makers, renewable
energy professionals, energy consultants and students a platform
for development and an invaluable research text. Contributing
authors include: Jorg Schindler and Werner Zittel, Ludwig
Bohlkow-Systemtechnik, Germany; Ian Rowlands, University of
Waterloo, Canada; Giulio Volpi, WWF Europe; Kristian Hvitfelt
Nielsen, Aarhus University, Denmark; Staffan Jacobsson, Chalmers
University of Technology, Sweden; Peter Connor, University of
Warwick, UK; Ole Langniss, Centre of Solar Energy and Hydrogen
Research in Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany; Ryan Wiser, Lawrence
Berkeley National Laboratory, US; David Elliott, The Open
University, UK; and Frede Hvelplund, Aalborg University, Denmark
