Publisher's Synopsis

It takes a multidisciplinary, practical approach with perspectives from a diverse range of countries across both research and industry, to provide a practical guide to developing policy solutions in both middle- and low-income countries. This book covers a wide variety of policy for renewable and sustainable energy sources, including solar, hydro-, wind, geothermal, marine, and hydrogen energy, evaluating policies based on both source and relevant geographic, economic, and political contexts.
The book includes demonstrations of economic analysis for strategies including demand-side management, energy storage, and capacity-building. A wide selection of reliable data is provided to evidence recommended policy approaches and support the reader in developing policy frameworks of their own.
