Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Policies
Although there are many publications about energy efficiency policies and renewable energy policies, most of them are specific to some countries or regions.As most of these publications focus on country and region specific issues, they may not be preferred in teaching the energy related policies in a university not from that country or region.The author has been teaching a course called “Energy Laws and Policies” for a long time.Over the years, she prepared detailed lecture notes about energy efficiency policies and renewable energy policies which are the basis of this book.It can be used by instructors around the World, or by students/individuals who want to learn more about these policies.It is aimed to serve as a textbook for undergraduate, and graduate level students.The book includes the definitions, types, advantages/disadvantages of energy efficiency policies and renewable energy policies in general.It also provides a comparative analysis on energy efficiency and renewable energy policy preferences of different countries.It will help the students to better understand the major differences between policies, how they are applied and which policies should be preferred under which conditions.

Making Climate Tech Work : Policies That Drive Innovation
Climate tech is critical for averting planetary chaos.Half the greenhouse gas reductions required to reach “net-zero”climate targets in 2050 will need to come from technologies that have not yet been invented.Without effectivegovernment interventions, market incentives alone will not produce a rapid transition to a low-carbon economy.Thecommercial value of innovative climate technology, especially in its early phases, remains underpriced - far below itssocial value.The good news is that smart policies can change these dynamics and catalyze the necessary creativity andinvestment in clean technology, and its deployment.The key question is: which approaches can lead us to future carbonneutrality, and which are likely to fall short?In Making Climate Tech Work, environmental policy expert Alon Tal demystifies climate innovation programs around theworld - no policy background needed.Beginning with a review of government’s general role in technology policydevelopment, Tal assesses each policy alternative, describing eye-opening experiments in diverse countries, presenting arange of case studies, interviewing leading decarbonization experts, and interpreting new empirical data.Discover howGermany incentivized renewables; Denmark became a wind energy superpower; Australia phased out incandescent bulbs; California’s prisons pioneered low-carbon menus; and why carbon taxes have failed around the world, but couldbe designed for success. Tal distills the benefits and drawbacks of each policy, along with related ethical questions and public perceptions.Heconcludes by addressing two commonly overlooked issues in climate policy: disruption of workers’ livelihoods from theclean energy transition; and integrating the Global South into the planet’s new low-carbon economy - as the region thathas contributed least to climate change but which must be part of a global solution.Tal not only evaluates which policystrategies effectively reduce emissions but also how they can promote climate tech innovation. Humanity is ultimately in a race against time and effective climate policies are critical to ensure a sustainable future. Making Climate Tech Work serves as an essential primer for policymakers, academics, activists, and anyone interested inclimate solutions.

Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency : Assessment of Projects and Policies
The recent rise to prominence of renewable energy and energy efficiency has been driven by their potential to lower the environmental impacts of energy use.As these technologies mature they must demonstrate not only their environmental benefits, but also their economic competitiveness.The relative costs and benefits of each potential project, whether large or small, must be systematically modelled and assessed before they can be financed and implemented. Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency: Assessment of Projects and Policies deals with the appraisal of such projects against financial and non-financial criteria, illustrating the assessment tools necessary to make appropriate, evidence based decisions as efficiently as possible.The most important technologies are first described, stressing their economic and performance characteristics.Key project appraisal concepts are then introduced, approaches to modelling the cash flows in energy projects are described, and the issues of uncertainty and optimisation are fully discussed.These financial concepts, together with methods for estimating greenhouse gas emissions, are extended to address aspects of energy policy.Illustrated with many case studies this is an ideal introduction to financial and non-financial appraisal techniques as applied to energy efficient and renewable energy technologies.

Bigger Pictures for Innovation : Creating Solutions, Managing Enterprises, and Influencing Policies
This book comprises a set of stories about being an engineer for many decades and the lessons the author learned from research and practice.These lessons focus on people and organizations, often enabled by technology.The settings range from airplanes, power plants, and communication networks to ecosystems that enable education, healthcare, and transportation.All of these settings are laced with behavioral and social phenomena that need to be understood and influenced.The author’s work in these domains has often led to the question: "Well, why does it work like that?" He invariably sought to understand the bigger picture to find the sources of requirements, constraints, norms, and values.He wanted to understand what could be changed, albeit often with much effort to overcome resistance.He found that higher levels of an ecosystem often provide the resources and dictate the constraints imposed on lower levels.These prescriptions are not just commands. They also reflect values and cultural norms. Thus, the answers to the question were not just technical and economic.Often, the answers reflected eons of social and political priorities.The endeavors related in the book frequently involved addressing emerging realities rather than just the status quo.This book is an ongoing discovery of these bigger pictures.The stories and the lessons related in this book provide useful perspectives on change.The understanding of people and organizations that emerges from these lessons can help to enable transformative change.Fundamental change is an intensely human-centric endeavor, not just for the people and organizations aspiring to change, but also for the people helping them.You will meet many of these people in this book as the stories unfold.The genesis of this book originated in a decision made early in the author’s career.He had developed a habit of asking at the end of each day, "What did I really accomplish today?" This was sometimes frustrating as he was not sure the day had yielded any significant accomplishments.One day it dawned on him that this was the wrong question – He needed to ask, "What did I learn today?" It is always possible to learn, most recently about public health and climate change.In planning this book, the author first thought in terms of accomplishments such as projects conducted, systems built, and articles and books published.He could not imagine this being interesting to readers.Then, it struck him – It is much more interesting to report on what he learned about people and organizations, including how he helped them accomplish their goals.This is a book of stories about how these lessons emerged.
