The burning of fossil fuels and emission of greenhouse gasses critically impacts the global environment. By utilizing better techniques and process, businesses can aid in the journey to an economic, sustainable, and environmentally-friendly future for generations to come. Business Models for Renewable Energy Initiatives: Emerging Research and Opportunities is an essential reference source for the latest scholarly perspectives on present and future business models in the renewable energy sector. Featuring coverage on a range of perspectives and topics such as techno-economics, decentralized power systems, and risk assessment, this book is designed for academicians, students, and researchers seeking current scholarly research on green business opportunities for renewable energy.

Retrofitting expresses, in a traditional approach, the process of improving something after it has been manufactured, constructed, or assembled. These systems integrate new technologies, new functions, and new services that increase the energy performance in existing private, public, and commercial buildings. Retrofitting for Optimal Energy Performance is a comprehensive reference source that examines environmentally conscious technologies and their applications in advancing retrofitting practices. Providing relevant theoretical frameworks and the latest empirical research findings in the area, it highlights an array of topics such as climate change, energy management, and optimization modeling, and is essential for academicians, students, researchers, engineers, architects, entrepreneurs, managers, policymakers, and building owners.

Wasserstoff (H2) als gruner Energietrager ist mithilfe volatiler erneuerbarer Energiequellen in beliebigen Mengen generierbar, speicherbar und ohne Verluste transportierbar. Robert Staiger und Adrian Tantau zeigen auf, wie H2 zukunftig als wichtiges Bindeglied zwischen den erneuerbaren volatilen Energiequellen und den hocheffizienten dezentralen Energieumwandlungssysteme (Warme, Strom, Mobilitat) fungiert. Um grunen H2 erfolgreich in die Markte zu implementieren, sind neue innovative Geschaftsmodelle notwendig. Geschaftsmodelle koennen aufgrund der realen Komplexitat nur Teile eines gesamten Unternehmens und seiner Umwelt darstellen und beschreiben. Diese Eigenschaften im grunen H2-Kontext zu katalogisieren und zu bewerten ist die Aufgabe dieser Arbeit.
